I would like to thank my supportive circle of friends and family for encouraging me to reach for the stars. To my parents, who instilled in me a love of learning and books at an early age, and to my in-laws for so warmly welcoming me into their family many years ago. To my husband for his enduring love, encouragement, and support. And to my children, the next generation of dirty hands and green thumbs.
