My One Year Blogiversary & Giveaway!!

One year ago I decided to begin my own blog. I started blogging for several reasons:

1. I was completely fascinated with reading blogs about adoptive families. That fascination lead me into other blogs of families, singles, teachers, etc. I love peeking into people's lives. Some call it nosey-ness, I call it...learning! People are wonderful creatures and I love the experience of learning from each other, whether it's about parenting, adopting, decorating, dating, or any other subject. I think we learn the most when we are learning from each other.

2. I wanted to begin chronicling my journey through adoption (and waiting) so Molly could one day look back and read about what was going on in my life. I've started diaries and journals no less than 100 times and they always turn to blank pages around January 15th for some reason. I can't keep a New Year's Resolution. So blogging was one way I could for sure tell my story. I always am near a computer and I can click online and post an entry very easily.

3. I wanted to create a 'document' where I could look back from month to month, year to year and see how God has moved in my life. So many times we forget the little things and we shouldn't. So this is a way for me to look at where I've been and where I've come from. God has blessed my life so richly and I'm most undeserving of anything he has to offer me, but I definately want to remember it all! The good and the bad.

So in order to celebrate appropriately...I'm having a giveaway! I couldn't think of a better thing to giveaway than a new blog!!! I've partnered up with the fabulous Design Girl (formerly known as Blogs by Danielle) who has designed all of my fabulous designs in the past including:

This blog was designed to hopefully inspire me to loose weight...while the blog is beautiful, trendy, and inspiring to look at unfortunately I haven't been able to shed any pounds...but I'm not giving up!!
