G--I'm struggling with this one, hence the delay in posting.  Some thoughts that correspond to this letter have included:  gosh darn apartment, Grateful, Girl or boy, giving birth, going outside, etc....

Let's go with GRATEFUL~!!~~!

This move has definitely reminded me how grateful Russ, Aylen and I are for the family and friends that have helped us out along our journey.  And by help I mean:  watching of Aman so that we could clean and pack, those that came over and shared their muscles to help Russ load the trailer umteenth times, the constant support I received via phone call and especially text messages from you and you and you, financial help along the way, and just the reassurance that people were and continue to be there for us in ALL the ways they can.

I've been obsessed lately with documentaries (thank you Mandy for starting that)...National Geographic has some great ones that are only 50 minutes long--which those of you who know us know we discontinued cable and I really hate to ever be glued to a tv.  But I can justify 50 minutes a day.  And I've watched anywhere from docs about the Aryan Brotherhood, Bangkok sex industry/exploitation of women, babies docs from all around the world, and multiple prison documentaries.  From all of these it gives me an education into worlds that I have no clue about, and it makes me feel grateful for what I have.  Even the simplest things...  like running water, parents that love me, a husband that supports me and my career path, a healthy son, the ability to walk outside  anytime I want and not constantly fear for my life, and the basic ability to be who I am. 


So a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone:) I heart you all!!!!!

That's all.
Bye!!

Love,
Momma
