No, it shouldn't! And here I am to prove that...back to where I met so many of my online friends who have become RL friends. I've visited in their homes, had them to visit in mine, and they're part of my family.
So, in a way, are all of you who read and/or comment on this...I feel like I know you and we're woven out of the same cloth.
It's been far too long since I've been here, and on this last day of 2012, I'm writing to share the moments of my life that made this past year so special:
Being elected to serve on my church's vestry for 3 years
Having my friends Serena and Alastair here to visit in April, and having a chance to show them my city and Southern hospitality
Placing 7th out of over 100 teams in the Memphis area trivia contest--first time our team placed in the money
Coordinating the compilation and publishing of a cookbook for Jasper's Army, an online group which supports our military personnel through care packages, holiday parties, etc.
Managing the church's bookstore to another successful year
Continuing to mentor my EFM group at church
The 5th anniversary of Lakeport Plantation's opening to the public (my father's family home, located in Lake Village, Arkansas) at the end of September, including the opportunity to see my cousins who live a long away from me
Going back to LA for the last Twilight Saga premiere--Breaking Dawn Part II
A lovely festive holiday season
May 2013 be a bright and joyous year for us all!
2012,
new year,
2013
