To Kara and Stacey

Today marks the 100th day of Andrew's absence in the year 2009.

But that's not what I want to talk about. The thing that is foremost on my mind is not my husband, but the incredible friends he brought into my life through a group known as "the cadet girlfriends."

There are a hundred ways to record this story, but no words sufficient to express my gratitude to 2 people: Kara Noyes and Stacy Culver. I will forego a fumbling description of my finding their sweet packages in the mail on 2 different days - both days when I desperately needed a boost. Suffice it to say I was brought to my knees with tears of gratitude for such friends as these.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my dear friends, for thinking of me. You are both the epitome of thoughtful, generous, compassionate women, and I count myself lucky to know you.

And I count myself lucky to know you.

Good luck on the flight with the kiddos!

I love our big bellies, and I love that they're no longer quite that big. Look how little Eva is!

Ditto what Kara said--WE are the lucky ones! Thinking lots about you!
