one year old...

I am going to state the obvious, today is August 18, 2010. This doesn't seem like a big deal, does it? Well, in actuality it is. One year ago today I started this little blog o' mine. I started it because it was summer and I was bored, I honestly figured that it would last a month tops. Now here I am, one year later and I am so in love with my blog and the little blogging community I am a part of.

I don't get sappy or emotional very often, in real life or on my blog, but today I am going to get a tad lovey dovey. Just love me through it...

Before I joined the blog world I always mocked people who had 'internet friends'. Like SERIOUSLY made fun of it. I always thought that there was no way one could build a relationship with someone via a computer that they have never met face to face. Well, a few months of blogging and I was proven so very wrong.

I have an amazing family. I have some of the best friends a girl could have. I have also made REAL bonds and REAL friendships with my online pals.

Some I have been lucky enough to meet in real life...

Some I have yet to meet, don't worry all of you are on my agenda! In this past year a lot has happened. Good, bad, funny, and sad and I pretty much blogged about all of it. You are all hilarious, sweet, caring people and I am a better person for 'knowing' you all.

I wanted to do a special giveaway for my one year blog birthday, but I need to get an Etsy shoppe set up with Bff Jil for the craft blog we have. So, I promise in celebration there will be a giveaway coming up VERY soon. As for now thank you all for being a part of this blog, you all inspire me with your own posts, your comments, texts, emails, and tweets. I have nothing but love for y'all.

Happy Birthday blog o' mine, here is to another year of stories, pictures, and adventures. So, what do YOU all want to hear about? What should I blog about? Which posts are your favorites? Which features should I keep/change/or add? I am open to any and all suggestions!
