In addition, I have an amazing group of people that have supported me my whole life, and while I probably can't name you all here, if you're reading this, you are one of them.

To the following specific people and groups of people, I owe you my sanity for the past couple of years:

• My parents
• My sisters Lisa and Marie
• My fiance, Jason
• My grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and everyone in Jason's family
• My fabulous roommates at the Banana Stand: Betsey, Jason, and Sarah
• My girls: April, Adrienne, Katherine, Rachel, Rachel, Elena, Quenna, Elizabeth...The list goes on.
• The UW Element girls, who are my family out here
• The whole Grinnell community, my family everywhere I go
• The boys at the HOBB
• Everyone else not covered above who plays on Blue Footed Boobies. Especially Abby.
• All the friends I've rediscovered on Facebook, and especially the old ones I haven't been the best at keeping in touch with (this is what I was doing, Senami!); I miss you.
• My pets, Scrabble and The Holy Roman Empire
