I would like to dedicate this blog to Ashlee and Eric.
Ashlee, I will miss your laugh and our talks on female emancipation, spirituality and weird people.
Eric, I will miss your giggle too. I won’t have anyone to share my Eastern European humor with because, obviously, no one understands it.
I wish you both the best of luck in your future careers, and I hope you will be surrounded by awesome people like me.
