There was never a single second that I thought you would ACTUALLY pack it all in and leave.... even though there were immense frustrations! I think you underestimate yourself Deb. It sounds like it was such an intense experience for you and Dave as a couple, and for each of you as individuals. Even though it was tough, you only grow stronger and you can always appreciate things and experiences, however difficult, much more when you are removed from them. The beauty is that this experience will always be with you and be the encouragement you need to do whatever it is you want to do in life. I always love reading what you write, but this was incredible, and it made me teary-eyed. Clearly you have many talents, writing included:-) Mike and I are so happy for you and we are absolutely busting to hear about it all! We can't wait to see you when you get back!

I've been texting you since Friday, but assumed you were either not receiving them, or were busy. We are SO SO SO SO proud of you! The kids were absolutely psyched when I told them the news. Ther first question was, of course, "When are Aunt Deb and Uncle Dave coming home?"...lol I'm not at all surprised by your success...knowing you Deb for 22 years, and Dave for the last 10, I know that you guys can accomplish ANYTHING. But we really are so proud of you (I get bragging rights, right? Too late, I already took them...LOL) Like I've said so many times before, I can't wait until you're home safe, sitting by the fire at the trailer, drinking our homemade Cranberry Cianti, and hearing your many stories. So proud to be your friends. Miss and love you much The Horton's (And the rest of the Cambridge Crew) OMG! YES! YOU DID IT!
