On the Eleventh Day of Christmas...

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me;
11 great new friends to spend time with,
Check marks on my "important things to do in life" list,
A lucky number we see all the time,
Eight years of wedded bliss & self employment,
A little blue box from Tiffany's,
PF Chang's catered in for me to eat,
Five years of teaching,
Four Dodge Durangos,
Three beautiful, smart, and amazing kids,
A second chance at love,
And a proposal at the Bellagio for everyone to see.

Chad knows everyone, or everyone knows Chad. To say he is the life of the party is an understatement. Since his parents lived over seas, his friends became his family. They really looked after him, included him on their family events, and cared about his well being. So I am very thankful for all his great friends and all the fun times we've had together.

Here's to you: Trice, Nathan/Kirsten, Dave/Heather, Sean/Sierra, Murray, Dave/Sara, Brian/Karrie, Brian/Vanessa, Chris/Angela, Bryce/Stacy, and Rick/Amy.
