chapter 14 : big thanks

last week, i went to Utah to help recruit at BYU for Microsoft. beside the food, hotel, flight and car accommodations, one the biggest perks is that i am able to see and spend time with my family and friends. it was fun to see all of them and to meet my new nephew, Tracen, but it also puts me on the verge of being overwhelmed. not stressed by the trip or people, but overwhelmed by the aftermath. i have TONS to clean, do and try to get done and that doesn't include catching up in the blogging world.
when i was finally able to check some blogs yesterday, i felt a HUGE sense of relief that gratefully, i didn't really miss all that much. luckily for me, it must have been a SLOW week for most of bloggers that i read daily. that being said, i still waste too much time "in other people's business," but it was nice to know that the world didn't pass me by while i was away. so a BIG THANKS to all of you who don't even know i read your work and still cared enough to not do too much while i was gone. it feels good to be LOVED even if it wasn't on purpose.
