Gratitude!

Over the past few weeks I have had numerous gatherings, parties, dinners, etc.  I've tried to contact all the people I wanted to see before I left - of course, there were some that were left out.  Not because I didn't want to see them, but because it's so darn hard to get calendars in sync.  So frustrating!!  To those I'm referring to...you know I wanted to see you, but time just got away from me!

I did, however, get to do the following:

• Numerous breakfasts, lunches, coffee breaks and dinners with good friends (you know who you are!)
• A long happy hour with my Cinti. friends (from 3pm to midnight...exhausting and fun!)
• One last girls night out dinner...yummm - Thanks Ellen, Maddie & Mary!!!
• A great party given by my mother for friends in Dayton - Thanks Mom!
• Another great party given by my sister for family and friends in Cincinnati - Thanks Meg!

Wow!  It's been a humbling experience to have so many people want to see me and give their good wishes!  And I got TONS of great gifts... who knew!?!

I am so very grateful for all the amazing friends and family I have.  Thank you for giving me such a fabulous send off.  I appreciate all of you!!!!!
