I made a branch from develop called api_develop. Then merged my first two branches into api_develop. To show you guys what i changed overall i did a diff against develop. I will merge all my other work into api_develop (and keeping develop merged in so its not a pain to merge back to develop when api stories are done. Jill said to put all my work in a branch for version 1 ... if you want each PR merged into develop as I go instead, I can do that.
