This little bloggy is almost a year old and I am just getting to the 100th post! I've learned a lot about blogging, life, love, Marty, and myself since I first started. This blog has served well as a journal of our first year of marriage together and I'm grateful that I found the time to record as many of our adventures together as I did. Thank you to all the friends and family who have joined us on this journey. I am always happy to hear when people enjoy reading about our little life together (sorry if it's a little cheesy at times).
