Dear Ricky -

I can't believe our first year birthday is around the corner! If you had told me last Jan. 1st where we would be today, I would have thought perhaps you were smoking something unsavory. Isn't it amazing what the Internet has allowed us to do as an entire community? When I think of the friends we have made, it boggles my mind. Also, I wonder if people know that we have never even met web master Bob face to face? - Simply Amazing! And to think that we are working with Angel (my old boss at HGTV), the crew from Chicago (Harpo) and folks from all over CO (God Bless Lilo) - these are all people who have caught the vision and dream of ours. I never knew what working 150% really meant - but we all do now LOL.

The best part for me? (beside of course getting to know you and Justin on such an incredibly close level) - is the creative freedom we enjoy coupled with the instant communication possible worldwide -

Merry Christmas my friend -
