100th post

When I started this blog, I wasn't sure if anyone would read - if I would ever find any blogs that I connected to. I really wasn't sure what to expect. Honestly, I couldn't have expected to feel as connected to a group of bloggers as I do. I love seeing your updates, seeing how this phase in your life is working out and hearing about what YOU have to say.

I have met a great blogger IRL now - and we have developed a friendship that I would never have imagined could come from blogging :)

I cried while watching a family video of an adoption hearing one of my "friends" posted - My heart was so full for them.

I guess I started blogging to be able to clear my head, document my life and maybe "talk to a few folks" but blogging is soooooo much more! I love Blogger.com and all my friends in it :)

Now I think the traditional thing to do is a 100 things about me post - which I will now do.

Thank you bloggers for making my life a little more interesting!

2. I have the best family, ever! We are crazy, opinionated, we fight and get mad - but in the end we are all there for each other.

3. I treat my dog like my son.

4. I had Lyme Disease - I don't anymore :)
