Surprise Going Away Party? You Shouldn't Have ;)

      I came home after running to the bookstore and was welcomed by a surprise party! With balloons and streamers and everything!      It was so heartwarming to have all my friends and family crowded together in my little kitchen, shouting over each other (lovingly of course), and dancing horribly to throw back 90's songs (okay maybe I was the only horrible one). I love my family and last night I was reminded of their unending faith in me. Their reassuring comments of  "you'll be fine" or their confident mutterings of "if anyone can do it it would be you," left me with a new-found confidence and the stomach tingling, tear brimming feeling of being loved. 

     So here's a big thank you to everyone! Especially my Aunt Renee! I'm blessed to have you all behind me and am continuously honored and encouraged by the faith you all have in me.
