You guys are amazing. Amazing.

In one day, one single day, you gave over $2,000 to help my friend Elizabeth.

We asked, “GimmE five!” and you did! And then some!  And today even more has come in…we are blown away.  And some of you are sending checks!  Thank you for making the extra effort.

By your love.  Your generosity.  Your faith in our word that this is needed.

I am humbled.

Grateful.

Just about speechless.

Totally in tears.

Thank you isn’t enough to express our gratitude and joy.  But it’s all I’ve got right now.

Thank you!

Tonight I did a little bit of work on our sidebar over there ———–>. I added a button, that looks like…this!

Emily and I have decided to move our product reviews and giveaways from a separate review blog to a reviews page, much like the “See Jenny Shop” page.  SO if you click on said button, it will take you right to that page!  We will be updating it a lot, so make sure to check it out everyday! These posts will also come through your email for feed reader for those of you who subscribe to our feed. So you won’t miss them!

We’ve already put up a couple of reviews, including one about my faaavorite new undergarment, and Emily’s iPad Case of Dreams. So check them out on our reviews page here.

According to Jenny, depository of all obscure dates in history, last Tuesday was our third blogiversary.

Can you believe it’s been three years? I know. I can’t either. So many of you have been here since the beginning, and I can’t tell you how much that means to us.

Thinking about our blogiversary got me to thinking about how this whole debacle started, and how many cool things have come of it.

Three years ago, I suggested we start a blog for two reasons. 1) We cracked ourselves up, and 2) I wanted to get Jenny off my back about the book I knew we’d never have time to get around to writing.

Back then, we had no idea what we were doing.

(And we totally do now, in case you were wondering. Yep, we really have our act together. Or something.)

We barely knew what a blog was, let alone what possibilities lay ahead.

We couldn’t have imagined the opportunities that would come our way. The trips we would take, the people we would meet, the friends we would make (too many to link, but you know who you are), the fun we would have.

It still kind of amazes me, to be honest.

Three years ago, we couldn’t have imagined using this blog to welcome Sammy into the world, and we certainly couldn’t have imagined that Jenny would blog her way through her third pregnancy.

We couldn’t have imagined that this blog would bring us closer to each other – we would have said it was impossible. We couldn’t have imagined that it would connect us to friends and family all over the country.

But perhaps most importantly, we couldn’t have imagined how incredible it would be to have a record of our lives. The good times and the bad, the fun-filled days and the sleepless nights. The funny things our kids said and our most embarrassing moments, the potty-training trials and the first days of school.

We couldn’t have imagined any of it. But I’m so thankful for it all.

Happy blogiversary, Cousin! I can’t imagine anyone I’d rather make fun of write a blog with. Love you!
