1 Year



Oh my goodness...it's been a year since I've started this journey through blog land. I'm a little ashamed to say that the reason I created this blog was to enhance my business. Through this blog I've only seen a dent in sales. Don't feel sorry for me...I've gained so much more than anything monetary. Things I've never anticipated! For instance...I never would of guessed that I enjoy taking pictures and I'm actually trying to make them look good! It's a work in progress but I'm trying. I've realized that I've created a journal...highlighting events, projects, family, friends, pets, vacations, outings, seasons, holidays and thoughts. Above all...are the friends I've made along the way. I never anticipated this. I anticipated customers but not friends. I never would of thought anyone would care about my extra ordinary life but...that's what we do when we visit each other's blog. We look forward to visiting because we're building a relationship with each other. We look forward to knowing what's going on in each other's lives and what each person has to say. We've shared with each other our joys and sorrows. We end up caring for each other. Caring for people we've never met in person only through words. To all of you that have stopped by to visit...I'm honored that you keep coming back. Your creativity, thoughts, advice, wisdom, kindness and warmth are truly appreciated and inspiring! I'm in awe of you! Thank you. ~amy
One more day in counting to the Taylor Swift & Kellie Pickler concert! My husband and I are taking my daughter and 3 of her friends. Can't wait!

I feel exactly the way you do. Blogging has become something I never imagined it would.

You worded it perfectly.

Happy One Year Anniversary!!!!!!!!!

Don't you find that the majority of us do have an extra an ordinary life? I know mine is. Some days I got nothing..LOL. Sometimes we do fun things...some days are sad. I am glad I found you and your blog. I enjoy checking in every day to see what is happening. We all are reaching out to others that are like us in someway...if that is because we have extra ordinary lives than so be it. Keep up the great work!
