TIGF

Nope, I didn't type that wrong, I changed TGIF to TIGF...Things I'm Grateful For...and yup, I know you're not supposed to end a sentence with "for" but it's really not a full sentence so I'm gonna let it slide;)

I have 2 major things that I'm thankful for this week and a few little ones.

Start with the little things. Riley slept through the night! It's NCAA March Madness. I won the lottery this week. AHS donations.

Now the two big TIGF: Extended Family and Old Friends

It's Easter week and my cousin Dan and his wife Sharis are in town with their little guy Ryan. We're getting together with my family at the Cooley's house for Pizza and play date. I think my grandparents will be there too. Unfortunately my cousins Tim and Bear have to work and so do Josh, Darin and probably Chris, but I'm looking forward to it anyway. Some of them might try to make it for a little while anyway. I miss my cousins! We used to spend a lot of time when we were kids, but now we're all grown up so it's harder! I'm also grateful that Riley has 2 great grandmothers (one on my side and Josh's grandma Mary) and one great grandpa! And fantastic Aunts and Uncles (including the greats there too) and Grandparents!

Second thing is Old Friends. Now this includes my TG girls that I do dinner with and my Grade School girls too, and all my friends from college and old jobs. But what brings me to this one is my old neighborhood. My friend Missy and I are hosting the Second Annual Adult Edgemont Easter Egg Hunt this weekend and I am so excited to see my old friends. This egg hunt is reviving an old tradition in our neighborhood. There are still some of the original owners there and some of the kids have bought their parents' houses so it's like going home! Thanks Jeff for letting us use your house! Thanks parents for starting this tradition YEARS ago! And for creating a great neighborhood to grow up in. I miss the 4th of July parade and party and I'm glad the Egg Hunt is back:)

Ok, this is a long post and no pictures so I'll end here!
