400th Post - And a Giveaway!





This post marks my 400th post! Crazy, huh? I just realized it as I was setting up my blog to do posts this week while I've been away. While I haven't always been super consistent with blogging, this blog has been the most consistent journal I have ever had in my life. It has been a fun way to keep track of my life, keep in touch with friends, and even meet some new friends. While some say that blogging is a dying art thanks to things like Twitter, I still appreciate the blogosphere!

The Giveaway:

So here is the deal - I would really like to give away something fun for my 400th post, but not everyone thinks the same things are fun. So this is going to be a mystery giveaway (sounds like fun, huh?) All you have to do is leave a comment on this post by Monday, June 27th 11:59 PM, and you will be entered into the giveaway. If your name is chosen I will choose a prize specifically for you. I promise, I will try and make it something good!

In your comment include either:

1. How we met
or
2. How you found my blog

The winner, and the mystery prize will be posted on Wednesday, June 29th.

We have never met, but I found your blog through your sister Lacey. Back when I would blogstalk(haha), that is so in the past now, but I really enjoy reading your blog posts and totally agree that it is an awesome way of journaling, I have loved it for that one reason alone.

We have never met, but I found your blog in July 2008 after you found and commented on my very first blog post. I agree that Twitter or Facebook have taken the place of blogging for some people. I am glad you have been consistent with your blog! I still follow it and enjoy all of your posts. I still marvel at how much we have in common!

Ha ha ha! We met 'cause I thought you were Lacey. And then I saw you in person (I think you'd just moved back from Snow). And I LOVE to read your blog 'cause I sure do miss you!

What a good idea to see who is following your blog. We met through your cute sister Lacey. I think we first talked on the phone about the education program. I had just finished and you were just getting into the thick of it! You sure are a wonderful person and I am glad I have gotten to know you!!

We met because of some people we share (and love). I enjoy reading your blog and seeing how you cope with the challenges of teaching school. It is also fun to see your family pictures with little faces that I recognize, too!

How did we meet? hmmm... I don't know if it was the first time we met but I do remember having a conversation with you about how Karl took every girl out on a date and you said I would probably get my turn before the school year ended. I didn't believe you and never thought I would be engaged to him before the year was up.

We met at work and boy am I grateful for the job because of it! :) Yes indeed, indeed! :)And I probably found your blog at work - you are why I have a blog. I hope I win but even if I don't . . . I get to see you soon!

We met at church and were lucky to be able to serve in the relief society presidency together, whch turned out to be the best presidency ever!

Saweeeet!

We were coworkers at BRASC. You are hilarious, smart, beautiful, patient and excellent with kids.

I know it may sound like I'm flirting, but in fact, I am not. ;)

We met in Brasil :)

Lacey said...

I suspect that you and I met on the day of your birth, or shortly thereafter. Pretty sure I've known you the longest of anyone who reads your blog... ;) Hooray for blogging!!!

Ashley said...

When I first met you, you was standing on your kitchen table with a mixing bowl on the top of your head singing "This Kiss" at the top of your lungs. We've been instant friends ever since!! Love ya Cheeks!

Well... the name Katie and a little bit of destiny (okay, and maybe a singles ward) brought the two of us together and I wouldn't have it any other way. :) Thanks for sharing a fun blog, an exciting giveaway, and the best name ever. ;) Love you!

Sad, I missed the deadline. Well anyways, I first met you through book club. This is a great idea for a giveaway too and I might have to steal it!

Congrats on 400 posts! I believe we met probably the first time I had a sleep-over with Lacey which was probably when Lacey and I were in 7th or 8th grade.
