1 Year Anniversary & Disappointment

Wow! It has been a year since I started this blog. I am totally amazed that I have actually kept it going and have been pretty much on top of things. It is weird, in fact, I really enjoy this thing called "blogging". It is safe to say I am probably addicted for I am actually considering starting a couple more.

This anniversary post was envisioned as being something fanastic, complete with incredible pictures. I should have realized my life does not work that way. So here is my disappointing story:

One gorgeous day, walking on the beach, great company, actually finding seashells, lots of great laughs and one camera with a dead battery.

Anyway, it was a great day. We spent the day with Dennis' brother Royce, his wife Heidi and my mother in law. So even though I have no pictures it was a fantastic day. We walked on the beach and to everyone's great surprise Kayla fell in (No surprise there). I found my first pieces of sea glass (at least I was excited) and we watched 3 cruise ship go by. Heidi made homemade ice cream which was so good and Royce taught the kids etiquette for getting people to wave at you.
1. Eye Contact
2. Smile
3. Wave
He has done a lot of theatre and so it was so funny to see his expressions. The kids got a big kick out of him. Their big prize was when 2 school buses drove by; they received lots of waves and someone even took a picture of our nice crazy crowd. (Luckily I was in the house at that time).
Such a fabulous day should have pictures.... Kody even commented on how I would not have any pictures to post on my blog. He knows me so well.

Today I found an article in a magazine it was called "5 Minutes to Happy" Go from blah to bliss in an instant. By Jennifer Matlack. I found it interesting that this was the first thing she said:

start a blog Like journaling, it gives you an outlet for your feelings. "But it may even better for triggering happiness because people can leave you positive comments."

I found this quite interesting. After my much disappointment, I must admit, I am feeling a little better after expressing my feelings. Ha Ha. Who am I kidding, I am still really bummed not to have any pictures for what I consider an anniversary posting.
