We are READY!!!!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the kind comments you have made. Ryan and I feel honored to be able to help Neal and Michele in this way. This is just the beginning of our journey, but going through this has allready caused us to step back and view our lives from a different perspective. We have found that we do not stress about trivial matters at work or about keeping up with chores around the house because, each day, we are realizing that those things really ARE insignificant. It is the people in our lives that matter and we are so grateful for all of the support we have (and will be...) receiving from all of you. Neal and Michele are two of the strongest people we know and we are anxious for the day that we can take another vacation together!!! Again, thank you to all of you for being there for us, for supporting us in this decision and, Michele, I couldn't think of a better way to communicate with everyone. What an awesome idea! 23 days to go :)....
