Leslie,

  Sometimes you meet people that you just know will always be a friend. I had that feeling nine years ago when we met. It's been wonderful to see the changes in both of our lives since then.
  I'm so happy for you and Dan and the decision you've made to be married, being married is one of the greatest blessings offered to those who are willing to accept it. Never forget that it is worth all of the hard work you'll put into it and then some.
  Russ and I are both so excited for you both and your lives together, don't forget to enjoy the little things!

Love  -Amy
