I've been blogging for only 15 days, and I have to admit: I feel like I've run out of things to say. I wish I made great, "bloggable" strides in my understanding of the world on a daily basis, but I don't. Some days are just days where I get up, take care of my son, and go to bed. It's not particularly glamorous or noteworthy, but it is. I think some of you can relate; I also think that one day I will remember these as the best days of my life.
In the absence of things to say, I want to focus on what you have said to us over the last few weeks. I knew that this project wouldn't be the easiest we've ever attempted. What I didn't expect was the curiosity, interest, disbelief, encouragement, and generosity that we've encountered along the way. The community that I find myself in now--made of family and friends alike, is unreal. I am blown away, and very grateful. You all WANT us to succeed, and are doing all you can to make it be true.
We've been the grateful recipients of well-placed words of encouragement and wisdom, recipe ideas, offers to cook together, eggs, coffees out, cookies, Patrick's now-famous salsa, chicken, pesto, berries, marinara sauce, lentils, pasta, and offers of "stop by if you run out of anything!" Never before have I felt so much a part of a warmhearted and caring community of people. You all have taken this family's project to pay off our bills and made it so much more than that. Thank you, all!
