Wow, Laura, I am so glad to hear that the universe decided to cut you a break. You sound so happy! Seems like things have worked out.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2013: That Was the Year That Was
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Out you go, 2013!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Laura H. I have always said you are the most aggressively happy person I have ever known. It's good to see you with your feet under you!

Our wings are not tired.
And the guys got home and I opened my lovely box of treats. I am so delighted. Bobby took pictures to send me, but I think he messaged them to me on Facebook so I have to find them. He's loading the truck again!
I have tasted several varieties of homemade cookies. Oh my! So tasty. Colorado honey which I may have to arm wrestle DH over because he loves honey. Incredibly lovely and I am confident handmade ornaments and necklace and scarf. And cookie cutters too! And I know I am forgetting something because it is late and I packed it back in the box!
Promise pictures tomorrow because too pretty not to share. Thank you so much!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
This thread makes me happy, too. You people make me happy.

"In the early years of the last century, the U.S. Congress considered a bold and ingenious plan that would simultaneously solve two pressing problems — a national meat shortage and a growing ecological crisis. The plan was this: hippopotamus ranching."

And the guys got home and I opened my lovely box of treats. I am so delighted.
I'm so glad you liked your treats. I had fun putting the package together for you. I thought about a big box of just bubble wrap but then I thought you would use it for the move instead of protecting you from the world.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That period between sending off your gift and its eventual arrival. Hard, or THE HARDEST?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I vote for THE HARDEST.
My gift's eta at its recipient's place of work was yesterday or today.
