Something Wonderfully Fun Has Happened!

Photo Credit
I was eagerly looking forward to this day.

Counting down, eyeing the numbers, subtracting, adding. Waiting, waiting for that moment...

It was a handful of posts away. I could feel it. That moment of realizing...

Then I (embarrassed)...forgot. 

I visited my blogger dashboard one morning and! Oh! Oh! 

The moment had not already passed, but I was already cruising down the road with this landmark in my rear view mirror.

But I couldn't let it completely slip away. So I'm sharing with you today. Grinning. Dancing. Can't BELIEVE I made it this far. 

It's blown me away.

Friday, July 26, 2013 marked my ONE THOUSANDTH blog post.

1,000 posts. 

ONE THOUSAND.

That's a LOT of words.

That's a lot of blog posts.

That's a lot you guys have read and commented and tweeted and pinned and loved on for over three years. 

That's something else.

I'm celebrating. And I want to share the celebration with you!

Do you have a favorite post of mine? I know to actually find the post might be a challenge, so if you'd leave a comment about the post, I'd LOVE, LOVE that! 

Regardless, leave a comment, 'cause I'm giving away a $10 Amazon Gift Card.

ONE THOUSAND POSTS, people. I think I'm a little bit of insane. :D

  2. I'm celebrating with you, Casey -- HaPpY dAnCiNg!
    I've really enjoyed your recent posts on singleness and waiting for your happily ever after and trusting God in the process. I went looking for it ... but, doggone it!, couldn't pull it up.

  3. Wooohoooo! That's a biggie! Thanks for being so committed to us. :)

    I don't think I have a favorite post, but I do remember seeing the cover to Gone South (for the first time) on your blog. It could possibly be my favorite book cover ever!

  5. Oh, that's a hard one! But...I like a lot of your posts on "committed to purity" and the post you wrote, kinda like a letter to your future husband and the one from the "dancing in God's arms" pin from pinterest.

    CONGRATS!!

  8. Congratulations! You had a post - maybe a month ago? - with that lovely pin about Jesus being your dance partner, and at some point He'll let the right man cut in. That was such a lovely post.

  9. Yay!! Congrats! That's such an amazing milestone! One of my favorite, more recent posts was Dance with God. I've heard that quote so many times and I love it!! I'm kind of in the same boat as you, just a little younger. That post was a great encouragement.

  12. Congrats on 1000 posts and more! I had to search for a bit but I found the one that came to mind when I read your question. It's your Dancing, Dating & Waiting (specifically part 2) posted on Friday, April 27, 2012. I have been impressed with your commitment to purity since I first started reading your blog. You'll be an awesome wife and mom someday, Casey. God will fulfill your dreams beyond measure.
