One week from today I will be flying over the Atlantic Ocean and returning home to Seattle after 10 months of globetrotting the world! This past 10 months has been an experience of a lifetime but there has been many people and things I have missed dearly while being away:
1. My adorable nephew Thomas who was born 2 weeks after I left on my trip and whom I still haven’t met. One week Little Thomas and I will be holding you in my arms! I love you!!!
2. My family: Dad, Mom, Cliff, Jordan and Mark…a.k.a. The Swain Gang. I am SO SO SO SO SO excited to see you all. Thank each of you for every smile you bring to my face when I think about you.
3. My second family: Rambos, Olsons, and Hergerts–I can’t wait to see you all over Christmas! Terra, Kayla, Josh and Kyle…I probably won’t even recognize you kids because you will be taller and bigger than me by now!
4. Friends: To all my wonderful, amazing friends…I have missed you all and am ecstatic to catch up with each of you when I am home!!!
5. My former co-workers: I miss the cube talks, energetic environment and your creative minds. It will be wonderful to see you all again!
