When I opened the card, I realized it was from Stacey, one of my advisors from Syracuse. She was one of the residential life faculty advisors for our dorm my sophomore year. I was elected president of the dorm that year so she and I worked together planning dorm and campus-wide events and became very close.
Stacey has been there from the beginning of Nick and my's relationship. She was the one I shared my thoughts with about my new "boyfriend" and was with me when I picked out Nick's very first Valentine's Day card. I'm sure she never thought that the guy that lives in Ohio that I was so in love with and babbled on and on about would one day become my husband, but she listened anyway and supported me. She was one of my closest friends that year and would continue to be so until I graduated.
She has since left Syracuse and moved on to bigger and better positions so we don't keep in touch as often as we should. I still can't get over how sweet it was of her to think of me, Nick and little Neptune and almost burst into tears every time I think of it. So, if you're out there reading this Stacey, we really, really appreciate your kindness and we really, really, really need to do a better job of keeping in touch!
