When I started my blog on June 1, 2008 I really, really, really did not expect to still be blogging on June 1, 2012! It was really more of an experiment. It looked like fun. I thought maybe my mom would read it, (Which she has! Thanks for always being my best follower Mom!). I never would have dreamed how many lives it would connect me to and what a blessing it would be to share just a bit of our lives with all of you.
If you get a chance, go back and look at my very first blog post, here . Look at those little babies!!! (The thing that jumps out at me more than anything is, we had no idea who Havilah would be!!!! Oh, what a wild ride was ahead of us and we had NO idea!!!) I can hardly remember those days before our vivacious Ella Joy and our darling Esther. Life was wonderful then, but God has been abundantly gracious to me over these past four years.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to those of you who stop by and read!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to those of you who leave comments, it makes me feel much less lonely around here! Thank you, thank you, thank you for those of you who take the time to tell me you are reading and that I am appreciated. Your words are what keep this blog going!
I thought to celebrate this anniversary, I wanted to celebrate you because I know for a fact I wouldn't be doing this any more if it wasn't for all of you! We are adding some new products to gracenotes.biz (including some yummy all organic summer tea flavors!) so I'm going to giveaway $20 credit to one random participant. All you have to do~ LEAVE A COMMENT
I'll draw a winner first thing Monday morning so keep watch!
Thanks for being such a blessing to me these past years! I hope I can be a blessing to you too!

Grace, I can't believe you've been sharing your heart with us through your blog for 4 years already!

I love reading about your life and your family. You are so encouraging, not only here, but everywhere!
I may be too late for the drawing, but I enjoy reading your blog and staying in touch via facebook, etc. I love thinking back to life in high school and youth group and how God has given you your heart's desires along the way. He is very good! :=) I also appreciate your honesty and vulnerability. It is easy to sugar-coat things online, but you tell the honest truth about struggles and starting over - daily turning things over to the Lord. Thank you for your honesty and encouragement! Hugs to you, friend! :=) (Hannah Moorman)
