Happy Blogiversary to me!

Today is my 2nd blogiversary (and my 755th post)! Just for kicks, here is a link to my very first post. It's been a fun hobby and I've discovered lots (and lots and lots) of great blogs. To celebrate my blogiversary I'm going to draw 2 names from my comments left on this post (you have until Saturday night at midnight) and send a surprise package to those 2 people. If you are so inclined, this might be a good time for all you lurkers to leave a message (and I know there are a few of you!). You can't win if you don't play!!

Thanks to all my friends and fans for reading about the life of BIG RED EP!!!

Happy Blogiversary! I wonder if Hallmark makes a card for the occasion? :)

Tiffany said...

I love reading your blog. It helps me feel like Boston is still a part of me even though we don't live there anymore. We sure miss it and the people we met there.

Happy Anniversary! Here's to many more blogging years!

Congrats, Ellen! I was so inspired by your blog that I started my own...so thanks for starting Big Red EP!

I feel like you should send Kal a package for being your first blog poster.

Congrats on your blogiversary! I'm just trying to get mine up. I"m a lurker. I found your blog through Heather White. I enjoy reading your blog. BTW I'm in Utah.

Sarah said...

I love to read your blog and I love that it's new every day! Funny story, when I was little, and I guess even now sometimes, my Dad use to call me Big Red. I also got Sarah Beara Big Red which wasn't my favorite. Anyway, love reading your blog and would love to get a surprise package!

jessica said...

I'm a lurker and I love reading your blog. I think I feel kind of connected to you through melanie. I love reading about New England, it just seems so exotic compared to Idaho!

Who doesn't love a chance at a giveaway! By the way, just for the record, I'm not a lurker around your blog....I'm obsessed... I wait and check your blog like two times a day for your next post...sad I know...but when you're bored, and stuck in the house...what else does one do?

Emily said...

I hope this shows up in the Good News Minute.

Rebekah said...

I'm a big red EP stalker, I admit it. I tried to make napkins like your by the way. They didn't turn out nearly so cute.

P.S. I found your blog through my sister's, Mindy Hardy, who used to be in your ward.
