[Family]  "they're your the best link to your past and the most likely to stick with you in the future."  

     "Understand that friends come and go but for the precious few you should hold on.  Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and life style because the older you get the more you need the people you knew when you were young." 

     Above are a few lines from one of my favorite poems, Wear Sunscreen.   Over the last few months I have been reminded of how lucky I am.  I have been blessed with an amazing support group, wrapped up in my family and friends.  Even though we may not be in touch on a daily basis I truly feel like they have my back, and for this tremendous feeling of love and support, am eternally grateful to them all.    Especially, as Tim and I are preparing to welcome our first little one.  The love and generosity we feel has truly been overwhelming.  We cannot wait to introduce our bundle of joy to you all in July.    

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you have imagined." H.D. Thoreau
