Thank You

This list will grow beyond belief in the next year, but...
...we wanted to make sure to get a thank you in for all the folks that have helped
us on our way:

Kevin and Deja: Kevin and Deja helped us out when we were in a real bind. They gave up their garage all winter so we could work on the trailer in Seattle. Thank you!  
Joe in Greenwood: Kevin and Deja's neighbor woke up to a trailer in his backyard one day. Thanks for letting us stay!  
Patty and Jesse: Patty is our great friend, funky diva, and for a couple of months in Seattle, our roommate! Patty and Jesse opened their home to us when we were on our way out of Seattle. Thank you, guys!  
James, Jr, James, Sr., and Joe in Carnation: Early on James offered up his Dad's place in Carnation so we could work on the trailer, our first (of many) worksites. The site was perfect for our early heavy work. His tenant, Joe, was a patient and understanding moral supporter!  
Jude's Dad, John and his Understanding Wife, Michaelle: John and Michaelle have been big supporters of "The Plan" since the very beginning. Dad has been a tireless senior advisor and has put in many, many long hours. Michaelle was nice enough to do without him for awhile! Thanks, guys!  
All Our Aventail Friends: Aventail gave us an incredible going away, organized by Eric Bean and Mason Denger. Thank you all for being so supportive.  
Scott, Elizabeth, and Baby Sophia: Thank you for your on-going support and your beautiful example.  
Nana and Jesse: Thank you for opening your home to us, letting us curl up on your couch, and feeding us that great Chicken Cachitore.  
Grandma Harris: Thank you for opening your home and heart to us and our furry friends. Monkey and Twiggy thank you, too!  
Grandma and Grandpa Lucero: Thank you for the tortillas, the fried chilis, the fresh eggs, the olive oil, the many laughs, and the many nights over!  
Aunt Linda and Uncle Bobby: Thank you for the many taco nights in the past and future, getting us hooked on Survivor, and your constant support of our plan.  
Grandma Wells: Thank you the warm blankets, the great family stories, the local advice, and the many nights over!  
Glenn and Patty: A big thanks to you for opening up your home to us, your yard to our project, and your hearts to our plan. Special thanks to Glenn for all the hard work and advice.  
Joey and Suzanne: Thanks for being our guides in Baja, our travel companions, and our friends. It was great to go on adventures with you in Baja and San Diego. Ready to go again?  
Mitch and Leslie: We can't thank you enough for your kind invitation in Loreto. The house was a high point of our trip and a great way to relax some many weeks in the tent. Thank you!  
Melissa and Mike: Thank you for giving Jude his first taste of Disneyland. Leslee had to tear me away from Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!! We truly had a blast.  
Tiffany, Dominic, Sofia, and Michael: We had a great evening at your place. It was a pleasure to catch up with you guys, make new friends, and spend time with the younguns.  
Steven, Kathy, Tanner, and Madeline: It was great to spend time with you guys in Los Altos, catch-up, and see how the kids have grown into vibrant young adults! See you in September! Thank you!  
...and to All Those Folks That We've Inadvertently Omitted or Haven't Yet Added: Thank You!
