Room for You(88)

Julie Hill… the Cliff house… you and me, roomie.

To Happy Driggs. You are my very best friend on this entire planet. We can have whole conversations with very few words, though I suppose that’s what happens when you share a brain. I want to list all of the insanely wonderful things you’ve done for me but we both know that’s not how we work. The one thing I will always be grateful for is the way you tell me to just shut up and get it done. You get me, completely. You’re my favorite *. #Namaste.

To my mom… You’ve been my rock every day of my 35 years on this planet. You’re more than just my mom, you’re my mentor and my best friend. Thank you for believing in me and always sounding interested in my book, even when I’d already talked about it 3,206 times that day. Everything I’ve always done has been possible because I knew no matter what, you would be in my corner, cheering me on.

To my incredible husband, Chris. You have been my co-pilot in this journey we call life for the past 16 years and I couldn’t be happier to have you by my side. When I first told you I needed to do this, you jumped right in and eagerly asked what you could do to help. I don’t think you thought it would be so much cooking and cleaning, but you didn’t complain, most of the time. Thank you for always having my back, regardless of how insane my ideas can be. I love you a little more every single day.

Lastly, thank you to my four kids who listened to me say, “I’ll be there in a minute,” or “Just a second,” for months while I was typing away. You guys are the reason I breathe. I love you more than anything in this world.
