Today is the third anniversary of GF in the City.

Okay, actually “today” is about a week ago.  I’m writing this before we leave for Italy, so that you will see it on the appropriate date; I’m not planning on doing any active blogging while we’re away.  As you’re reading this, we’ll have just spent several days in Rome and will be embarking on our first in Florence.  I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that we’re having a really good time.

For this anniversary, I don’t have any crazy insights about blogging to share.  I don’t have a redesign to launch.  I don’t have a recipe (though if I were going to celebrate with one, this would be it).  Maybe it’s because I’m writing this a week early, or maybe it’s just because things feel so blissfully comfortable here lately that it feels like enough to simply give three years a nod.

And to say thank you.

These past few months have seen me through a lot of personal changes, and there were many times when I was nervous to share them here.  You guys have been so incredibly supportive, lending kind words of encouragement and continuing to read.  I can’t thank you enough for that.  I really love creating and sharing in this way, and it means a lot that you’re here—even if I have become a kale-lovin’ vegan yogi.

I’ll have at least one more post lined up for you while we’re away, and then I’ll be back with a debriefing about Italy.  Stay tuned.

And hey, thanks again.
