1 year older and wiser too!

Today is my official one year anniversary of starting my blog! Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!

This past year has been great! I couldn't ask for a better year in many ways but in other ways I've been tried as all humans are. My family has grown physically and spiritually and that's what life is all about. I feel the same about myself. Of course, life isn't perfect but it sure is grand!

Below are a few {ok quite a few} linked posts of my year in review. I enjoyed re-reading these, getting the chance to smile at my past year. It's been so fun blogging and having you, my readers, join me as I try to share a slice of my life. I look forward to another blogging year with you all in tow!

2- The guy who's posted the most comments.

3- The newest blog reader.

The gal who's posted the most comments on my blog....is my amazing friend since high school- Bethany! She's given me loves the mostest with 80 comments!! Congrats, Bethany- You've won a "To Do List" clipboard that I've made! {She wanted to make one herself. Now she doesn't have to.}
