I’d like to take a minute to wish myself and my blog a happy blogiversary. It’s been an amazing 5 years together with a lot of ups and downs and backspaces and image inserting. Blog, you have been through all the trials and tribulations of the last five years of my life as a mother and wife. You witnessed the birth of my second child, a move halfway across the country, the purchasing of our first house and much more. This past year you were there for the world’s best April Fool’s Prank, MM joining cub scouts and most recently our adventures in adopting our first dog.

You are my venting place, my family photo album, my soap box and the source of many lovely bloggy friends (thanks to all my pals reading this right now, you mean the world to me!). I cannot believe it has been 5 years already! Most of my hobbies don’t last nearly this long so consider yourself a well loved pastime indeed!

Maybe it’s just my new diet talking, but I am totally hoping for cake tonight but trying to convince myself cake isn’t necessary. But come on, your blog only turns 5 years old once, right??

Of course I should give thanks to the source of most of my blog fodder, my adorable children and my amazing husband (hi honey!!) – I truly would have nothing interesting to blog about if it wasn’t for them.

So here’s to 5 years of bloggy goodness and the hope of many more years to come!
