{ GUESS WHAT Thankful Thursday edition..}


IT’s my
200th post
and my
one year blog a versary today.
This past year has been so fun. I just wish that I would have started this blog a long time ago. I love reading back on the things the kids did or my thoughts, feelings, quotes all those fun posts over the past year!
Blogging has allowed me to meet so many awesome people that I never would have met if I didn't have this blog. I feel like this has not only blessed me but my family too. I have found new recipes that we love, new ways to decorate and organize, new crafts to make, new friends, and a new better, stronger attitude and appreciation for life and my blessings.
It also allows me to have a little grown up time away for a few minutes everyday!
I am so thankful for all of you that read my blog it really mean’s a lot to me that you actually take time to read what I write - boring little old me.
I love reading all of your comments and ideas that you leave for me I look forward to them and I ‘m looking forward to a whole new year that will allow me to meet more people and learn more things.
So since it’s my one year mark for my blog tell me your favorite thing about blogging or your favorite previous post or whatever even if you’re a
blog jogger
and never comment !
Anyway thanks to anybody who has ever left a comment, thanks to those that have helped me when I needed an extra lift for the day, thanks to all the awesome new friends I’ve met through my blog. We are all connected in some small way. It’s so fun to learn from each of your blogs and to feel more connected to other moms and people who are going through the same things in life.
Thanks to those who have stopped by to brighten my day and made my day with your thoughtfulness, thanks to those that have helped me in ways they don’t even know.
Thanks for helping me to learn, grow and be inspired.
I love blogging!!

THAT IS THE whole REASON I enjoy blogging! For sure. I did not realize that you had only been blogging for just a couple more months than me. You seemed to be seasoned blogger right from the get go.
Thanks Crystal. So glad we met.

HAPPY BLOG a VERSARY!

P.S. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the family photos that Rebecca took of you. Absolutely a very good looking country couple you are. It reminds me of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. You are an awesome couple to look up too, for sure. : D

I love reading your blog. As for me the MAIN reason why I am glad that I love having my blog is like you said, looking back at the things Nate has done. Nate can do something cute in the morning and I think...oh I want to write that down, and then by the afternoon I can't remember what it is. But the moments that I have captured on my blog I love. Keep it up!!! You are awesome.

I love blogging for all the reasons you said. I feel like my circle of friends has grown, and I also know some of my old friends better. I also love looking back at what we've done, how I've felt, and especially all the comments and help my friends have given me.

I love your blog for all the positive thoughts and inspiration. Thanks for everything!

I love your blog.....I was blog jogging one day....a few months back and stumbled upon yours. I grew up in Ray-town, so I followed your link from some of my old school pals.
Plus, I think my husband does Business with "D"....he sells the ranch feed. SMALL World. Ask D, if he knows Dave Miller?
Happy Blog-A-Versary!

I know I learn new things & see a different side of you in almost every post! It's fun to see pix and accomplishments of my sweet nephews and niece by checking every once in awhile.
I'm glad you love blogging and that it's been such a help to you and yours. It definitely has it's good points. I'm glad you started one!
