*being thankful for our time with family in IL
*looking at land and dreaming about one day living in IL again
*loved being close enough to Bethany's house to watch Bunheads with her
*seeing Rachel and her family at Cracker Barrel on her birthday
*driving by our old house. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
*seeing cornfields and full green trees. The river even looked pretty to me.
*celebrating our ninth anniversary by going to Old Chicago (with Aubrey)
*spending a lot of time in the children's section of Barnes and Noble
*Madelyn saying, "It's too windy to fly the friz." (frisbees)
*eating at China Village
*giving my mom the story I wrote about her rocking chair, hoping to publish it one day
*so thankful to be home (even if home is AZ right now)
