I've been busy with some big life events (all good things!) and have gotten embarrasingly behind on thank you's! I've tried to start this post a few times, but kept getting overwhelmed, so I'm cutting down the length of each thank you (I could write paragraphs about how much I love all of these cards, so I assure you that the brevity does not indicate a lack of excitement!)
