100! That's right! (I am so impressed that I could actually do that in my head.)
This is my 100th POST! I must say, I never thought blogging could be this much fun, and it's also impacted my life in ways I would have never dreamed. Because of blogging, I have gained a new best friend, been reunited with countless "old" ones, and learned that people you love truly do think about you and are curious as to how you are.
