Welcome home!
Wow, don't know what to say really. What an amazing adventure. In some ways it seems you were gone forever and in another it seems like you never left. You have included us in your life the past year and it really feels like I've been there too. Will see you soon!

I'm glad you made it home but what an awesome 11 months you've had! I'm going to miss your blogs. Crystal, you RAN without Rene? Wow. The shrimp fest and oyster stories made me hungry.
