Many Thanks

I am a lucky, lucky girl. These past few days have meant so much to me and I want to give thanks. Before leaving Ann Arbor, I was able to have some last minute get togethers with my SPH favorites. I've developed some of the best friendships this past year and I'm grateful for the closeness we share. Can't wait to catch up on our conversations, thursday night dinners and many laughs after our internships this summer. When I came home to Royal Oak after a pretty stressful week, I was able to unwind with one of my best friends downtown over a couple beers, Rays ice cream (yay!) and lots of funny moments. I definitely needed a night like that. On Saturday, my sister organized a get-together, which was the perfect reason to get to see all my family and best of friends before leaving. I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my weekend.

I will miss all the things I enjoy doing in the summer (concerts with Kristen, up north with my friends, pool days at Aunt Linda's, cousins weekend in Glen Arbor, Michigan backpacking, etc.). But I will certainly take all the love with me to Ghana. Many, many thanks to all my family and friends...and for all my little good luck charms too!

And especially many thanks to Melissa, who always so kindly offers her house as a gathering place for family and friends, never ceases to put others first, and of course is the best big sister ever! I feel so blessed, my heart is full and happy.

I wish everybody a great, safe and fun-filled summer! See you in August :)
