It has been a very wonderful 16 months for me. The time has gone by fast, I have learned a ton and met so many fabulous people! Thank you to all the people that have been so generous with your time in reading this blog and checking in from time to time to see how I am doing. I appreciate all the comments and well wishes.
Let's see... in 16 months you all have watched me: meet all 4 of my grandparents, meet 4 of my great-grandparents, meet and play with all of my 4 cousins, see the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, take 10 airplane rides, go to 8 states, visit Seattle/Atlanta/Dallas/Chicago/Boston, listen to a President speak in my hometown, go to a wedding, make Mason laugh and cry, celebrate 2 Christmases, host 1 birthday party and so much more!
I have made some very good friends along the way. First is my very best friend... my dog Riley! Riley and I have had some ups and downs, but for the most part I love when he is around and my very favorite is when he gives me kisses! He is the best! My buddy Pete has been great to me too. Some of my best fashion statements have come from this guy! He tries to teach me words that I don't understand and I can thank him for my rocking chair that I love so much. Mason is my east coast friend. Jackie is my southern "grandmother" and sender of great gifts. Olivia and Ava are my in town and swimming friends. Ryan and Bernie are my Seattle hotel and "atlas" friends.
Of course my parents haven't done this all on their own either! While I have grown and they have gone back to work, many people have stayed with me at my own house! My grandmothers have spent time with me, my Aunt DD, Ellen, and of course Ingrid! Ingrid has spent the most time with me and taught me the most! We have done so much together and continue to do so. Lunches, errands, libraries and more! A big big thank you to Ingrid for being so gracious with your time and s
Again, thank you to everyone who have read this and I hope you have enjoyed reading about my life and my progress. I am sure that there will be another blog in the future, but that one will be about someone else!
I hope everyone has a great week and I hope to see you all very soon!
