Wow! I cannot believe it is almost the end of 2011! When the holiday season arrives (and it seems to be arriving quicker for me than I expected!), I like to reflect on the past year and look forward to the next. While this year has been more exciting than I ever could have dreamed, I am also eager to discover the opportunities waiting in the New Year. During 2012, I will meet many of you for the first time and reunite with old friends from previous years. My family of friends is growing and I am grateful for each of you.
Even with all of the excitement, this was a difficult year for my husband and me. We both lost our fathers and the logistics of our move continue to prove challenging. However, we are again reminded how priceless relationships can be. We have each other (he is the most supportive Delta Kappa Gamma husband ever!), and we have been supported in so many ways by friends and family around the globe.
So, for me, this holiday season, I wish to send you more than just holiday greetings. I do wish for you the most beautiful of holidays, the happiest of New Year Days, and a joyous time with family and friends. However, I also must send thanks to you all - your support and care have carried us through the hard places and strengthened us as we prepare for our future in Austin. I am ready for 2012 and looking forward to seeing you all.
And if I do not see you along the way, I hope to see you
in New York City in July.
