snippets of thanks

just a few of the many things i am thankful for...

sisters

family 

new friends -- and twitter (@allisonharp to @lyssaclaires - that's how we do it), facebook, ramling/ranting emails, long phone conversations/skype dates, sharing recipes, and snail mail to keep in touch with each other

emails from papi

things like granola that bridge your first day with your host family -- and you make it the last day you're with them.

for this special place

 for the opportunity to visit new countries that i continue to think about [cuba, nicaragua, costa rica]

family reunions

random moments like these

i am richly blessed.
