Blissdom 2010 was an amazing experience.  There are words, there are images, there are moments.  All will be shared.  But, for now, just know that there is verity in the name of this conference.  It was BLISS.

Dearest Anissa,

Always know how much you mean to me.  To all of us.  I am so glad that you are such a tough cookie.  Here’s to your 36th year being one of monumental strength, one of obstacles overcome, and one filled with ever-gaining health, happiness, and enduring friendship.

Happy Birthday, my friend—my sister!

Love and Rainbows and Cupcakes and Glee,
Mishelle

This blog has afforded me a number of things.  One of those things?  Friendship.

And for it I am so thankful.

I don’t have very many friends that I see on a daily basis.   On a daily basis, though, I see and feel the love of so many that I call my friends.  Love when they come here and tell me something sweet.  Love when they leave me a comment on an old picture on Flickr or Facebook.  Love on Twitter when I am asked a very random question that I just totally get.  Love when I get an email inviting me to a gathering of friends, old and new.

The friends that live in my laptop are so great.

And for them I am so thankful.
