Today is my blog's 1st birthday!
When I started my blog, I was just doing it to have something to do. And then very quickly more and more people I knew were starting blogs and that is when it became really fun! I have so enjoyed keeping up with my friends and family and also to be able to journal our very exciting year!
For my blog's birthday I thought that it would be fun to see who exactly is visiting my blog.
So here is the challenge...
I want every person (whether you know me or not) to leave a comment on my blog TODAY!
If you know me, you can tell me something about yourself that I don't know already.
If you don't know me, if you want, tell me where you are from and maybe how you found my blog.
I want to hear from everyone, including those I know who look at my blog but have never commented before! If you sign in anonymously, don't forget to sign your name so I know who you are.
Here are instructions for leaving a comment:
To comment on a blog is simple. Just click on the little green comment at the end of this post, next to the time I posted. If you are a regular blogger, you know what to do. If you are someone who doesn't have a Google account, that's OK! Simply open up the comment box by clicking on comment and choose "anonymous", type a comment in the leave your comment box, and then publish your comment. If you need a better step by step description go here: Blogger Help : How do I leave comments on a blog?

Wow, you've been blogging for a year...that's awesome! Happy Blogger Birthday!
Something about me that you don't know is that I love asparagus. I know, it's not exciting...but you didn't know it, did you?
Hey Brenley-
Happy Birthday to your blog! I am so glad you started a blog. I agree that it is fun to see how everyone is doing and what is going on in their lives.

Happy Birthday Blog or is it Happy Blog Birthday... anyways something you probably don't know is that I've chopped off all my hair well to my chin but I haven't blogged about it because I haven't taken any pics yet. You may not have even known that I had long hair since it was always up hence the new haircut... it makes me do my hair!
I remember when you started your blog! Time Flies! I really enjoy following your life through your blog. Your going to be such a good mom... your thoughtfulness to your birthmother shows such a big open heart.
Happy Birthday Blog :-)

Bren, seriously is there something you don't know about me? How about something you think you are better than me at, but aren't? Being stubborn! or is that being braty?
oh well....Happy birthday to your blog, and thanks for helping me give birth to my blog!
love ya!
Happy Blog Birthday! I can't remember exactly who I found your blog through but since we were going through the same adoption process it made me save your blog.
Something about me is I hope you don't mind me commenting! And if you would like to know more about me check out my blog! I am 27, a cosmetologist, I have Cystic Fibrosis, married 5 years, husband was adopted and is in school doing pre-req's for Respiratory Therapy, and our adoption profile is on hold at the moment. Oh and the best one is our friends were just placed with a little boy a few weeks ago! Yipee for adoption!
Happy Birthday Blog! It's amazing that you started a year ago. Such a great way for everyone to keep in touch. Something you don't know about me is when I am in the delivery room, right after labor my doctor will ask me (totally joking) if I am ready for another one and I always am! He thinks I totally crazy.
Love ya!
Hi Brenley - I don't know if you remember me, but I am friends with Emily R. (Easton's mommy - I usually don't use last names on blogs.) Anyway, Emily and I have been friends since elementary school in Springfield and I was always at their house and even though I am not LDS, I went to Girls Camp a couple years and many YW events... Anyway, so I caught your blog from Em's blog and saw that you were wanting to adopt - I work in adoptions and was thinking if there was a way I could help match you with a kiddo - before I knew it you were matched! So, its been neat to see you "expecting" now. Also, I am expecting my first (due March 08) so, seeing you prepare and get excited is fun. Blessings -- Sarina

Hi Bryce and Brenley,
I do follow your blog very regularly. I love to see what's new with you guys. I love the pictures too, keep them coming!! Can't wait till December!! The kids still talk about when you babysat them for the weekend. Taylor remembers Bryce taking him fishing. Stefanie just remembers how much fun Brenely was to be around. We love you guys!! Marty, Kim, Nathan, Taylor, Stefanie, Reena and Ryan
I'm a day late, too, but I had to leave a comment. Happy birthday, blog!
I'm so glad to have found that you had linked our blog to yours! I'm excited to be around for the next year of your blog's life. Hooray for blogs! :)
sorry....I'm late. Blogging is fun and I'm glad you've been doing it for a year. Since you don't know me very well....I could say anything about myself that you don't know. Here's something....I spent three days of my life in a coma when I was 16.

I am de-lurking. I accidentally found your blog from someone elses....I don't even remember whose. However, it was a complete surprise when I realized that my daughter, Jill, dated Bryce's little brother Spencer for a little while in high school. Love to read about you though and wish you the very best on your new little guy.
I don't know how I missed this. You know I'm a reader :) Let's see...I only like cheese on my pizza and I love to sleep!
We are friends of Matt and Julee. We are related to the Barkers in Eugene. I was checking out your blog today to get ideas for mine, and I just wanted to say that you have done a great job! Congrats on the baby coming, we wish you the best of luck!
Hey you guys! Thanks for finding us! We just started a blog last week so we're still getting the hang of it. I'm so excited for you guys and the new little baby boy that will be joining your family soon! I think it's so awesome! We'll have to keep checking back with your blog in the next few months as I'm sure there will be a ton of photos of the new little guy for all to see. I added you on our list so it will be easier to find you! Take care!

This is my second time leaving a message in a blog. The first time was in Kim and Danny Boman's blog. I saw that you had written them and left your site and here I am. Well to begin this is Brenda and Wayland Penhallegon. We are currently living in southern California. We now have two beautiful children. Our first was a girl who is now going to be 3 next month. Our second is a boy who was born just a little over 2 months ago. It is exciting to be a mother and you will love it. I am sure that the days can not go fast enough but before you know it your boy will be here. I wish you the best of luck to you and your family and hope to hear from you. Our email address is gofioboy@msn.com
Ps. I am going to have to look into starting a blog you will have to email me how to go about it. I am pretty clueless when it comes to computers and the new age. I know that is sad since I am only 26 years old.
