"I am thankful for": (2001?)

(While cleaning out our back room I happened upon this thankful journal. No date, but I believe it was sometime after Bill was baptized (2001) and before Tasha was born (2004).
Thanks to Rachel for her gratitude blog. April for her journal ideas and organizing skills. Amanda for her memory blogs. And Crystal for not being able to go on a hike today so I could stay home and clean.) Anyway, here it is...

OH that was great. I want to do my part II Gratitude post now! I promise my hard heart will slowly melt toward NY, it's just not quite there yet. You never answered me when you're coming to visit? That was a real question, just FYI.

NY? Soon! Maybe a long weekend during Greek Easter. I think it's April 27th this year. I'm jumping with excitement just thinking about it!
