Important Thoughts

You know, I just realized that sometimes, I forget how much people "back home" (in Green Bay and Minneapolis) care about me. I really do. I forget that they care about my daily life and my struggles and my worries and my joys and my doubts and my pain and my loves and my interests and my future. Seriously, I just had an epiphany about it. I mean, I gotta say that it's hard going from the France blog when I had 4 or 5 comments (at a minimum) every time I posted, but sometimes, I don't remember how much people love me and want me to do well and are really supporting me, even when I'm 2000 miles away from them. And I gotta say, I really appreciate that. I am so grateful for all those people who are rooting for me and proud of me and with me every step of the way, though it may be a giant step from across the country. It's comforting to know that my friends and family love me and want me to be happy with whatever I chose to do. So, especially those of you who have been emailing kind words, thank you for letting me know that you care. It means much more to me than you will ever know!
