I get to meet a friend!!!

Friday evening, for the first time in 3 years, I will get to give my friend Melissa a great big bear hug. She has been one of my rocks. We used to talk via IM daily. She and DH are the TWO reasons I have such an aweseome job right now (they wouldn't let me cancel the interview). She has talked me through my worst moments and helped me see reason more often than I can count. I cannot wait to finally give the biggest hug ever and thank her face to face for being one of my "lighthouses" in the storms of life.
