Happy Birthday, Just a Plane Ride Away!

Last Saturday, Just a Plane Ride Away turned three!
Was it only three years ago that I sat in the study of our Houston home and naively wrote this post? Like many bloggers, I thought my parents and maybe a few other relatives would be the only ones following our adventures. Little did I know that because of this blog, I’d make so many friends–both online and in person–from all around the world.
Thank you for being there, dear friends! Thank you for your visits and for your thoughtful comments and emails. They have meant so much to me.
XO

Ik dank jou voor all your posts that I truly enjoyed. So, gefeliciteerd met joy 3de jaar and up to the next 3 years and longer. Have a great day, X Carmie.
Dankjewel, Carmie!
joy = jou (already clicked on submit as I saw that mistake)
LOL, I’m not sure I would have caught that, Carmie ;-)
By the way, I enjoy your posts too! Your part of Italy is so enchanting.
Gefeliciteerd met de verjaardag van je blog, JaPRA! :o) Wow, 3 years? I’ve got a long way to go to catch up with you, then!
I for one, enjoy reading your blog enormously! Keep it up!
Thanks, Aledys! You are well on your way :-)
Thanks so much for keeping up your website – I love checking up on the wonderful places you go and looking at your fab pictures. Plus, it’s nice to talk Texas with you :)
Yes, ma’am! It certainly is nice to talk Texan every once in a while :-)
Thanks for all your comments, Julia. One of these days I hope we’ll get to meet!
Happy Birthday JAPRA!!
Thank you, dear Laurie. You were one of my first, brave commenters :-)
Happy Anniversary! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Kathy! You too!!
Happy Blog Anniversary!
Dankjewel, Christine :-) And I hope that one day our paths will cross… on one side of the pond or the other!
Three years!! I’m so impressed. Glad I got a chance to “meet” you last year. Keep up the great work. I really enjoy this little window into your life.
Tricia, I also am glad I had the chance to “meet” you last year and to get a peek into your beautiful life. Happy new year and many blessings to you and your family.
I know just what you mean: four years ago I did the same with my blog… just to “keep in touch” and suddenly a whole world opened up. I’m so glad to see a bit of yours! Congratulations!
I thought of you this evening because for the first time ever, tomorrow, I’m putting my daughter on a PLANE alone. I’m freaking out, but I realize that she is, really, Just a Plane Ride Away. Thanks for reminding me!
Oh, Kristen, you brave mama! Prayers for your sweet daughter for a safe journey. She seems so mature and “with it”, I know she’ll handle her adventure just fine :-)
Congratulations on your four years of blogging! I have to admit some of your posts make me long to be in London again!
Thanks, she’s been having so much fun in Charlotte that we haven’t heard a WORD! My friend, her friend’s mom, kindly sent me a photo of them reunited… so lovely!
I’m so glad you feel my blog evokes London life. Come visit, why not?
Happy Blog birthday JAPRA! I am so happy that I stumbled on your blog!
I’m glad you did too! I’ve enjoyed getting to know you, Lucylucia :-)
Happy Birthday! I didn’t know we both started at about the first time. I’m coming you on my 3rd birthday too. I’m so glad to have connected with you.
Happy Blog Birthday to you too, Sarah! I’m so glad that we connected as well. One of these days I’d love to get together with you and Bee over a pint :-)
I am glad I found this too. And I miss you, alot. I have been blogging on Facebook for the first time and doing some more pics, and you are right this is an adventure. I don’t know where it is going…but I pray I can stick with it. Keep in touch .
Keep going! You’re doing great, Michelle :-)
