30 Days of Thankfulness ~ Day 23

My father-in-law Jim, like his wife, opened up his home and heart to me.  He has always treated me as his daughter, and always with the utmost respect. 

Dad - August 2004

My favorite memories of Dad include the annual Christmas trips to Chicago, the wonderful tear-jerker speech at our rehearsal dinner, dancing at our wedding, going to Amana's Tannenbaum Forest and most recently, going to Wicked.  Of course, there's the dinners out to Rastrelli's and lots of time spent just hanging out as a family. 

So today, on his birthday, I'm thankful for Dad.
