Thanks Deb! It seemed like everyone already knew everyone else when I got there in 2011, but feeling like an oddball a little bit was TOTALLY worth taking the classes and meeting everyone.
You have no idea how bummed I was in 2012 that I missed it. I'll be looking forward to it all year!
p.s. I LOVE your holiday fishy with the santa hat and candy cane I got on Ebay!
