500.... Wow!

I found a reason to have a more fun blog post!! This is my 500th post!! I can't believe it! I started it in April 2008, and what a fantastic journal and scrapbook it's become for us! I have been printing them out at the end of every year, and I already know they will be a huge treasure to our family!

I wanted to try to find some fun, random facts about the number 500, or figure out something cool like when Carrie was 500 days old we were.... Or, when we'd been married for 500 days etc.... but honestly, it's a difficult number to do anything cool with. So instead, I just decided to go through the whole blog and reminisce. :) So here you go! 500 posts in a picture series nutshell! (Don't worry, there's not 500 pictures) ;)
