One

Two years ago, the day after my birthday, I received one of the biggest surprises of my life.

Twelve months ago, I came face to face with that surprise.


And today, that sweet surprise celebrates his first birthday.




Sweet August Huxley,
You have brought so much joy and laughter to our lives in just one short year. 
Happy birthday, little boy.
I love you so.

1 Year...And A Giveaway!

Well, it has been one whole year since I started this blogging adventure. One year! I wanted to start blogging long before, but I was apprehensive about the whole thing. I wasn't sure about putting myself "out there" for the whole world to view. Granted, I don't have a thousand hits a day (I'm lucky if it reaches the into the twenty range), and I usually post the better parts of my life, which tends to glamorize my existence and not the nitty-gritty of everyday living. But, still the thought of putting my life and my work on the web for the world to see was a bit intimidating. I overcame my fears, though, and jumped into the enormous world of blogging, and here I am...one year later...loving this whole process. And, like I said, if no one ever read my blog, I would still post. This is an outlet for me, a journal, it's my memories, it's something I want to be able to look back on as my life presses forward. So, I'm celebrating a year's worth of memories posted.

And how do I celebrate? I usually treat myself to something edible...a chocolate chip cookie perhaps. (Any excuse to have dessert!)

AND...in celebrating, I wanted to share my excitement with you. So, my friends, I'm having my very first giveaway! The winners will receive a signed print of one of the following paintings:





What do you need to do? Just tell me your favorite dessert, drop it off in my comment box, and the winners will be randomly selected next Thursday!

So, I'll start...my favorite dessert is fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. Yum!
