100th Post!!! (and a giveaway!)

This is officially my 100th post! 
 I started this blog about a year and a half ago, but it wasn't until about 7 months ago that I REALLY started blogging.  I LOVE to blog!  I think blogging is a great medium to share ones daily musings, thoughts on the world, and photos so those that are far away can see how lovely we are.  Justin and I moved from Utah to Minnesota almost 7 months ago for school.  We are equally 20 hours away from our family in Utah, and our family in Virginia.  This had been such a great way to make sure that our moms know that we are alive and well.  We love seeing pictures of our nephew and niece and siblings and parents on their blogs, and we love catching up and seeing friends both old and new in the blogging realm.  
I just want to give a shout out to those of you who read our blog and leave us awesome comments!  It is great to hear your opinions and kind words and thoughts.  
In honor of this being the 100th post, and in honor of the few that may actually follow this blog, I am going to do our very first blog giveaway. 
You will have three items to choose from if you win. 
I have been a little sick for the past couple days and whenever I am sick I feel like watching some of my favorite movies.  These are movies I used to always watch with my mom when I was little, so in honor of all these great movies, I chose 2 that you can pick from. They are,


And since of course I love scrapbooking, you can also have the choice of one of my favorite tools ever. The Xyron sticker Maker!

This little guy will turn anything into a sticker.  I think that even if you don't scrapbook, but have kids at home that this is a great little tool!
All of the items are brand new and once drawn the winner will have their choice of the above mentioned items.

So what do you have to do to win? You have to leave us some comment love. And that is all.  I know there are people who read this blog that I don't know or that I do know, but I don't know they read it.  This would be a great time to leave me a comment and let me know who you are and possibly win something!  So don't be shy, let us know who you are!!
 
You can leave one comment per day until Friday March 13th at 12 p.m. central time. Then I will pick a random number, maybe even 2 and post the winner/s on Saturday the 14th.  So leave us a comment every day to increase your chances!
Good Luck and thanks again for reading our blog and sending us some love while we are out here in Minnesota!

Oh I am totally going to leave a comment, not just because I would love to win a cool prize, but also because I love reading your blog! My favorite thing that you post is "Wednesday's Reads" and I always check every Wednesday because it gives me ideas for what I want to read next! I love your book reviews!!

I'm IN!!! I love both those movies! Sending you love from Nampa!!! I also like to hear about your Wednesday reads. I don't read a lot but our ward does a book club and my cousin is always asking me what books I like... that's hard to answer if I don't read so I tell her to check out your blog. I think it's helped.

I love reading your blog. I check it everyday to see if it's updated or to see if I have a grandchild in Minnesota that you forgot to mention. So you've been sick. That's too bad. Was it just in the morning, or all day!? We miss you guys but we're glad we can keep in touch and know how you are doing.

I'm sure I'm out of the running already since I haven't had internet access for a few days, but I wanted to comment and tell you that I love reading your blog! It's such a great way to stay in touch!

Congrats on the 100th post! I can't wait till I get there...how exciting! Pick ME! : )

Alanya/Ally said...

I think I might be the only one that wants that movie bad enough... JK! I'm sending more love your way. BTW, I totally love To Kill A Mockingbird as much as you. That was probably one of my first novels that I couldn't put down. My English teacher would only allow us to read a few chapters between classes. I'll admit I read ahead and had a hard time putting it down. I'm so glad you posted that for one of your Wednesday reads!

Cassi said...

I remembered to come back! And on the last day!
I finished Book Thief! It was so good...and sad! I thought the writing was so creative though!
Now on to Hunger Games! And I guess I'll have to try out Mocking Bird sometime because I actually haven't read that one yet!!
