INDY WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:

I have been blessed with an amazing group of people who have been a song to my broken heart and who bring me renewed joy every day.

My parents, Richard and Gail McCormick—parenting never ends, does it? Thank you for the constant little things you both do to be such great parents. And Mom, thank you for “Grandma Wednesdays” with Lily so I can keep putting down words.

Ruby Duvall—your laughter and joy are infectious; I'm blessed to have a grandmother who is a great woman of strength and heart.

Amanda Darrah—our friendship spans the best and worst of times, and in both, it's amazing to know you are always there (and THANK YOU for Hawaii!).

My sister, Jennifer Harman—sister power! No other words needed, right?

“My Kate” Martinusen—third grade and onward! Thank you for faithful friendship and prayers.

My sons, Cody and Weston Martinusen, bring daily laughter and life to my world. I'm glad God let me be your mom.

Madelyn Martinusen—it's amazing to have a daughter grow up and become such a wonderful, close friend. I truly cherish you.

My sweet Lily Jane—since your birth, you've brought enormous joy to my every moment and to our entire family.

Nieldon Coloma—the joining of our lives provided healing and newness, and I'm excited for all that stretches before us. It's wonderful to share life with you.

And to so many other people, I hope you know how much you mean to me.
