Woooo Hoooo!!!!!

Its a follower post!!! I haven't written one of these for a LONG time! 23 followers for me : ) - it makes my toes tingle (whatever that means) 23 followers may not seem like very many to some of the big time bloggers but to me it is amazing. When some of my friends made mention of me starting a blog, I wasn't sure if I should. I mean really, who would want to read about my crazy kids, cows and goats? My day to day life is no more interesting than the person down the road. I wasn't even sure my family would read my blog let alone people with no blood ties to me. Now look at me, I'm sooo close to my goal of 25 followers, I can almost taste it. (taste it? I think I'm off my game tonight) The question is what shall I do to celebrate if I do reach 25 followers? Any suggestions?
Now its Sandy's moment to shine....she is lucky number 23. I use the word lucky loosely because there really isn't a prize for being #23. (But it does give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.) Sandy goes to my church. I must admit, I was a little thrown when she told me this morning that she had been enjoying my blog. When I had time to think about it, I couldn't stop smiling. So, thanks Sandy! You honestly made my day.
I love to write on my blog. And I really get a good feeling when I see that I've made people smile or laugh from my stories. I like to share things that I find funny or sweet but at the end of the day when I hit the 'publish post' button I will still have an insecure moment and revert back to the shy little nerdy kid I was growing up. I am changing, slowly but surely. I get less and less shy about sharing my thoughts. I find more and more courage when I face that publish button. I am finding a little extra strength through this blog. And dear followers, I have you to thank! Please keep reading.
