500th Post-iversary!

I couldn't believe it when I realized I was about to post the 500th post on this blog! My little sister set up this blog in September 2005 when I barely even knew what a blog was. I had given birth to such a sweet and gorgeous daughter that of course the whole world had to see her grow up, and the whole thing took off from there.

We had two more babies in the next four years, and enjoyed our time in California. After 6.5 years of marriage, we made the difficult decision to move to Alaska. Though it was hard to leave our family and friends, we have grown as a family and come to love Alaska more than I ever thought possible. When I am surrounded by James and the kids, life is good - no matter where we are.


Looking back on pictures to create this slideshow, I realize how amazingly blessed I have been. I have the best friends and family anyone could ever ask for. My children and husband make me so happy, and our parents, step-parents, siblings, sibs-in-law, in-laws, and extended family fill our lives with love and adventures. Here's to many more years of happy blogging!
