Looking back is so necessary, life goes by too fast. How funny that you posted this today...Tommy & I are collecting pictures we have taken throughout the year so we can do our "Year in Review" post. We're glad we could be included in one of your highlights..."Making New Friends." We're friends, right?
I love that your year in review includes us in so many ways. May 2011 offer the same result.
So all-in-all, an uneventful year? HaHa! Really... so proud of you both! You have worked hard to follow your dreams, and I couldn't be happier for you!! But also, I can't wait til you come home for good!!! xoxo mom
