*hugs tightly and muchly*
Congrats, hun, you deserve it. All grown up, indeed, and with quite a few impressive accomplishments under your belt. A world traveler thousands of miles from where you started, a homeowner and about to be a bride. From a little girl to a VERY strong lady almost before our eyes. That's omething to celebrate indeed, and you're someone an honor to know; you've got a lucky fella there, as I trust he knows. *continues hugging*
