Thank You: Ian

{Thank You: A simple “Thank You!” can go a long way. I’m sure that I forget to say them along the way, just like anyone else. I hope this blog mini-series helps me remember to say it to some of the amazing people I’m so blessed to know!}

Thank You: Ian

The handsome guy in this picture is my friend from college, Ian.

In case you can’t tell from that mountain side pose… he is awesome.

How awesome?

Here’s a clip from the email I received from him on Christmas on my Blackberry (yes, I know, but I promise I was only checking email and texts from friends and family with Merry wishes!).

I told Santa about all your interesting projects and blogs online…. you may be getting a new client soon!
I’ve always known that I’ve been surrounded by some of the best people in the world and this just highlights a bit of that.

Ian is teaching in Istanbul, Turkey these days but Nick, my sister, and I had the chance to share a few stories and drink with him at The Pit when he was in town last fall. I can’t wait to catch him stateside again or maybe meet up with him on one of his world travels!

Thank you for the support and friendship, Ian! Stay safe on all your adventures and enjoy Turkey… I hope you find a great sorority soccer team to coach there 😉
