50!

This is already my 50th blog post! I hope you have enjoyed reading my posts. I have truly enjoyed writing them. This blog has been a fantastic outlet for me, even when I'm just writing some "silly" post. I have a few official followers and even more people who seem to visit regularly. I appreciate you all! Sometimes, while writing a blog, it is easy to feel like I'm talking to myself. I'm not going to lie, I do that too. However, it is nice to know someone is out there reading what I have to say! 

In honor of my 50th post, I'm going to write 50 facts about myself! I am going to try to make them original facts. So, sit back and relax. Here we go.

2. Mike and I just bought a house in November. It is perfect for us.
