moving back to indy to me is so surreal. I still feel like it isn't going to happen. as though something will fall through BUT it is becoming more real every day. we finished most of the kitchen yesterday
I hate to see it empty and boxes have begun to fill our breakfast room
and I began to reflect on the past 8 years of my life here in florida (in a random order)
~met my husband after living here for 4 months
~was lucky enough to get married at a beautiful, historic resort
~had malignant melanoma in 2003 and BEAT IT!
~gained a sister-in-law
a mother-in-law
and a brother-in-law
and another brother-in-law

Oh, Santos! He HAS been with you through it ALL! You had to have been crying when you wrote that.
oh this has to me one of my favorite posts ever! what a wonderful life you have!
It's so exciting! Hang onto your memories, but think of all the wonderful adventures that await you up North! p.s. I'm a malignant melanoma survivor too (since 2006) - Kim from Boston, Avery's mom
Wow, Tracey! Awesome! That had me teary! A lot can happen in 8 years and I know how excited they are awaiting your arrival in Indy! Best Wishes!
I thought about you today...just out of the blue. So I googled you, and here I am. I know we weren't friends for long but reading your blog made me sad that I missed out on those eight years. Your a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart. Best wishes.
