what a year!!
i love all that you have learned and teach me. unpacking your bags is an interesting metaphor... i have thought this was something i was pretty good at: planting roots wherever i am but now unpacking bags when i hardly have any makes me really think of all it means. i'm trying. we need to talk about this so i learn it better. :)
LOVE YOU!! happy 2011 and all that it will bring <3
