You are completely worth it and you are an inspiration to me and many others. <br />I have followed your blog for almost two years(at first I was a stalker)and it has been been such a blessing for myself and my family. My husband was interviewing to be an RMO with the State Dept. and I was totally overwhelmed and uniformed as far as the FS life. I stumbled upon your blog one night and I will never forget it! I remember thinking if she can make it with two girls while pregnant in India, I can do this with five kids. <br /><br />Jill, you have answered questions for me, shared tips and made me laugh until I cried in the past year. I am so glad to be part of your FS community! Someday we will meet and share laughs over Starbucks!!!! Until then my friend, knock them dead in NY (I wish I could go : ) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Matt with us, we truly enjoyed the whole evening with him and we hope to meet up with you all again soon~Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08677062694286116097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-32269955198287266372010-07-25T10:54:34.676-06:002010-07-25T10:54:34.676-06:00Too cool that he could meet up with them...what a ...Too cool that he could meet up with them...what a neat experience. <br /><br />Can't wait to hear about your experiences in a few weeks!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14545024934754374573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-1773234648477085622010-07-25T10:47:38.233-06:002010-07-25T10:47:38.233-06:00Um yes you are!
