Dearest Michelle!  

Wonder of all wonders!!  I have been a voyeur on your blog and am finally coming out from behind the curtain of invisibility!

Having known you for a few years, I must say that your joie de vivre is exceptional, not that I would expect anything less.  Through the ups and downs, you have stayed as positive and hopeful as a person can and WOW, now look at you!!  

Enjoy the heck out of this adventure! I will be waiting, openly, for the updates! 

I look forward to meeting Romeo Mio on a typically beautiful Santa Barbara day, sailing the ocean looking for whales...
