To those who got me here,

I'm not as good with words as I would like to be. I'm definitely more a visual person. I want so much to write a letter of gratitude to you that somehow conveys the immense thankfulness and pride I carry for having you all as family.  Every day I am in wonder of the friendship and love you each pour into my life, and I can only pray that I can be as good of a friend to each of you.

I look at this past year and I see a lot of really hard, life changing stuff each of us went through. But what shines through that is the help given to each other, the parties to celebrate joyous occasions, the nights spent laughing, and literally thousands of photos I have captured this year of time spent with you all...I am left without words. I am left with a heart filled with love. I am left with everything.  I love you all. 

Each year brings it's own set of surprises. Strikes and gutters, ups and downs. I'm looking forward to see what 30 brings.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
