Blogiversary and A Picture

7 May 2008 · 12 Comments

Today is my blogiversary. I have been blogging for 2-years. Can you believe how much I have written? I am sure there are some readers who are saying, “Shut up already!” Well, the great thing about blogging is that while I always try to be respectful of other people’s opinions and thoughts, I am free to share my own. Those who don’t like what I say are free not to click in. I like my universe.

I am sorry I didn’t host a blog contest in honor of the day. Truthfully, I almost forgot. In lieu of a contest with a highly desirable prize, I will share my stats. Now, these stats only represent my blogging activity since transferring my blog to wordpress. I transferred all the posts from my old blog here. So, with the exception of the total number of posts, the totals represent only a years worth of data.

I finally got April’s photo update. I do hope I don’t have to post another update for May. My husband recently emailed me from work to ask me if we had travel dates; he had been asked go on a road trip. As if! Here is the scoop, when I get the news, I will call my husband, call my mom and then come and post an entry. My blog readers are great prayer warriors.

Red, this seasons hot color!

Poor David! He looks like he is trying to tell me, “You said you loved me. That was almost a year ago. Why haven’t you come to get me yet?”

    Happy Blogiversary!

    The picture is great. I love their matching red.

    I love their matching red too! Hopefully you can wipe that look off of David’s face very, very soon!!!

    I’m secretly hoping we can travel at the same time…since you are a “pro” at Haiti and the rest of us aren’t!!!

    Awww…..great picture. I wish you weren’t watching them grow up in pictures, though. Praying and hoping that May’s picture update for us is taken from HOME! Can’t wait for that news!

    Happy 2nd anniversary. I’m glad we met via blogs!

    Happilations (Anna’s new word) on your blogiversary! I think you are beyond wonderful and I always learn from what you write. I can’t wait to read the news that your two little ones are home. ~Kari

    HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY !!!

    Ohh my heart sunk with what you said about David. I pray that your dh is having a spiritual insight that the rest of us don’t. The Lord is Faithful, He IS in Control, and with God ALL things ARE possible. Hold on to that my dear SSiC hold on to that. ((((HUGS))))

    Blessings and ((hugs)) my SSiC

    Happy Blogiversary!

    The kids look great - and I can’t wait for you to be able to ‘hug the stuffing’ out of David. (And hopefully someday you can take THEM to the Dells!) ;-)

    Poor David. My heart just breaks for those precious kids without their momma. Hang in there.

    You DID say ***NO*** in no uncertain terms to a “road trip,” right?

    Well, I don’t know… if you went on a road trip, that would magically be the time you’re called. Murphy’s law or something. Maybe you’d better both go to Iowa for the day or somethin’.

    Happy blogversary! I love the way Beverly sticks her little belly out.

    David is probably thinking, “Ok, when can this be finished so I can go play?”

  • Jenny // 8 May 2008 at 8:22 pm

    They are just so cute. I can’t believe it. Praying that you would get “the call” to bring them home.

  • Linda // 8 May 2008 at 11:52 pm

    Happy Blogversary!
    You bless me with every post you write.
    I remain in prayer for Beverly and David to be in your home soon. Your family needs to be together. I’m also praying for Marissa as she welcomes her new siblings into her home.

    I must come back and read your trinity post when I am not so tired.

    Thank you for always being you.

    *HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY!* As usual, there were SOOO MANY good things to read on your front page~I always read too much at once and then can’t keep my comments straight. My head starts to swim~LOL! However, I think “Heaven” by Randy Alcorn might just fit exactly what you’ve already been readin’…. (((((HUGS))))) sandi~YES! We are praying for your precious family to be together~that your children COME ON HOME!
