* Family Affairs *: Thank You

2008 has been a very active and very crazy year. This year I've learned more, worked more,been overwhelmed more, traveled more, worried more than in any other year. I also was never as much in awe of my friends and family who have been helping out left and right. and I never felt so clearly that I could never do it all alone.
I am so grateful to each one of you who helped us out, who encouraged, pushed and believed.
