And only 3 days late! Can you believe I didn't even know it was my one year blogaversary? Only after I saw Faith's post on hers did I remember! We started our blogs on the same day actually.
A year ago we were on our 3rd month of traveling to Florida with Daniel for work. We were there for 2 weeks at a time, January through March. It was fun, stressful, lonely, and an adventure. We went to Disney, the beach, Spring Training, the aquarium, and the mall (A LOT!) The kids and I explored Clearwater and Tampa, found local parks and playgrounds, and every Chick-fil-a in the area.
Looking back, it was a really cool opportunity for our family and I learned a lot about myself in the process. And in the middle of it all, I decided to start a blog. After calls to my buddies Melissa (who already had a blog) and Faith, I figured it out and started to blog!
There were lots of sarcastic comments and teasing from my husband (you're shocked, I know!), but now he at least reads it and even lets me quote him!
This blogging thing is kind of an odd thing to do and has turned out to be way more fun than I thought it would be. I've met people I never would have otherwise and been challenged and encouraged and impressed by even people I already knew.
So I'm sure I should do a giveaway, right? I've never done one before! Oh, the pressure!
Ok, how about a Starbucks gift card? Anyone?? Just comment and I'll put your name in a hat and let one of my kids draw it out. Cause I'm oh-so-techy and that's how I roll!
(And don't think because you're my real life friend you can't enter the giveaway! I think you're about the only people who read this thing!)
