So I do not have too much time to write now! But thought I’d write a quick paragraph as I sit here at home – home in Tampa! Back in the USA, y’all!! I still can’t really believe it, and still don’t think I’ve fully comprehended that I won’t be traveling back to Scotland in a few days. But it’s true. One saga of my life has ended, a new one is about to begin. And so now, as I listen to the Rays/Twins game in the background and get ready to eat ice cream with Mom and Dad, I will say no more. Just ever so thankful for the love of God! I love you, my friends, always.

Also – happy 27th anniversary to you, Dad and Mom!!!! You’re the best parents anyone could ever dream of. I love you so.
