Happy Anniversary (and a Giveaway) [Winner Announced]

The Winner is….:

Kara who said: Happy blogaversary!! You have a real gift with words, Katie! I never fail to be refreshed by reading your thoughts! And I’ve been wanting to read Gilead for quite awhile now…;-)

Congratulations Kara! Thanks to all who commented. Blessings to you, and thank you all for reading.

Today is our blogiversary!!!! One year ago today, I began to simply share life with you all. It has been a great ride. You have patiently read as I have worked out faith, told you about our unlikely bird-dog, counted blessings, laughed at parenting, fleshed out prayer, and told camping stories. I appreciate you sharing this journey with me greatly! To show my appreciation for you, today marks my first giveaway!

You could be the winner of the book Gilead: A Novel by Marilynne Robinson! To participate in the giveaway simply comment about your favorite thing about this blog in this post. I was going to have you post about it on Facebook, but alas, I am fasting from Facebook for Lent. You can if you want. I won’t even know. You can tweet too. I like tweeting.

This is truly a gift to you readers to show my gratitude, and I know you will love reading Gilead!

Cheers to another year of writing with fun, faith, and family. Don’t worry I have new material right in front of me. Well, maybe not right in front of me. Maybe I shouldn’t blog about a dog that regularly burps…loud. Blessings to you all!

PS: I will announce the winner of the giveaway on Sunday, so get your comment in before midnight on Saturday!
