happy birthday blog, you are one year old

Wow, it's already been a whole year since I started blogging.  It's crazy to think how time has flown by and I now have an entire year of my life documented on my blog.  This blog and the whole blogging community has become so special to me.  In the beginning, I just looked at blogging as a way to keep track of my thoughts and the things that went on in my life.  I never thought that I "meet" such amazing people and learn so much from reading other blogs.  

I also think I have some of the greatest and most supportive readers.  I seriously get such joy and pleasure from reading all your sweet comments.  Whenever I am having a bad day, a nice comment is sure to put a smile on my face.

I can't wait to see what this next year has to bring.  I have a feeling it is gonna be a great year with fabulous things to share with you guys.

Thank you guys for being so amazing and making this blog worth while.

Love you, mean it!! 

happy one hundred and camping at cades cove

This is my 100th post. Hooray!!

I am thrilled to have reached this milestone in my little blogs life.

I have enjoyed posting and sharing photos and experiences and other little treats with you.

I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have.

A special thanks to all of you that have been with me since the beginning.

I look forward to many more months, even years of blogging :)

Now onto my great camping adventure!

We went to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains. It was gorgeous. We had an awesome time with our family. We enjoyed seeing beautiful scenery and wildlife. We saw so many wild turkeys, deer, birds, a bear cub and a coyote. Our camp site had no electricity or showers AND I did an 11 mile bike ride around the cove. (the last time I rode a bike it probably had streamers on the handles and a bell. haha!) I for sure pushed my limits this weekend and enjoyed every minute. This trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. Oh and Jack did wonderful! He is now officially a camping dog :)
