It was fun today to check my stats and realize that sometime over the weekend my blog passed 50,000 views! Phew! Who would have thought some 20 months ago when I began this 'living journal' for Hannah that so many people would find my little 'ol life interesting enough to come back more than once.I have said over and over and will again now how amazed and thankful I am for the wonderful bloggy friendships that have formed through this great avenue. We have had a long wait together and some of us still have a good amount of time in front of us. While we wait....friendships form!
I think this would also be a fun time to find out who some of my 'behind the scenes' readers are too. If you like to visit but haven't commented I'd love to know who you are! I have a feeling many local family and friends check in occasionally but don't leave comments. Today's the day! If you want to, I'd like to know who you are! Please click the word 'comment' below this post and leave me a message including signing your name. Just click the 'anonymous' button and your comment will post.
No pressure...but it will be fun to find out who some of my quiet prayer warriors, readers and supporters are! Come one...come all!

ReplyDeleteWell...ya know me but it won't stop me from saying 'howdy' ;0)
ReplyDelete50K that is a LOTTA people! I started following you only a few months ago, but I've been faithful since!
ReplyDeleteWe have to keep coming back to see where you are off to next! :)
ReplyDeleteI read EVERY single post. I don't want to miss a thing, my friend!
I'll check back tomorrow. ;o)
Ok, I admit, I check your blog at least 3-5 times a week!! I'm hooked, and have to see you through to referral and travel...and then of course, i won't be able to stop because i'll have to read about your life with Hannah.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, 50,000! How awesome is that?! Beautiful post, as are all of your posts. I just cant wait till you are posting all about little Hannah!! =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 50,000!
ReplyDeleteI don't read tons of blogs, many are a tad boring, and I don't have wack-laods of free time, but yours is one of my faves. You just seem to be on my heart and I am praying for you during this wait and once you get Miss Hannah. Cause I think single moms need tons of support. This parenting thing is awsome, but it ain't easy!
ReplyDeleteMy street name is Hanna and it reminds me of you and to pray for you both.

This is fun! It's always great to hear from my bloggy buddies and now I'm learning of new friends like Shauna, Dalli and Cherylyn! It's great to meet you ladies.
ReplyDeleteCome out, come out, wherever you are!
Congratulations sweetie! You know me, but shoot you can never say "hey!" too often, right? :-) Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHi, Lorie here from Barrie. I love reading your blog. Your positive attitude is amazing!!

P.S. We're using the same agency.
Greetings from Thunder Bay! Congrats on your 50,000!
ReplyDeleteWe're LID Nov. 22nd so we still have a couple of months to go.
Figured I'd drop a line as I'm one of your "behind the scenes" readers. I visit regularly and am looking forward to Hannah's referral. Checking out blogs helps with my sanity (I think) while waiting for Keira. I'm in Ottawa and am LID August 1, 2006 ....that makes double digits this coming Friday. Who knows? Maybe, just maybe, I might be halfway there!
ReplyDeleteAll the best!

Wow! 50,000?? That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading for quite a while now (probably 6-7 months??), but don't post very often. I should be better at leaving a comment. I'll try!
I'm not a lurker, just wanted to congratulate you on 50,000 posts! WOW!
ReplyDelete5o,ooo THATS SO COOL!!! Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly a lurker, but I thought I'd check in....:-)
ReplyDelete50,000...wow that is great.
ReplyDeleteI love blogger land!
Hi, Catherine--I am a "behind the scenes" reader! I am also a waiting single mother (LID 5/15/06). We are all in the same boat together (albeit a slow boat to China).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 50,000 hits!
Cheers,
