We made it!! I wrote, albeit not always eloquently, for 100 straight days. And you read, hopefully with interest, for 100 straight days. What a journey it's been!
Thank you for your encouragement, your kind words, even your boldness to introduce yourselves to me at church! Yesterday, I met another person who I've never spoken to, who has been reading my blog! WOW!! It's humbling and exciting at the same time.
One final thing I am thankful for and that is the gift of words. Obviously I enjoy writing, and I've been told a few times that I'm fairly good at it. I'll let you guys be the judges of that. More importantly, I welcome the privilege and opportunity to tell you what's going on in our lives, tell you what God is doing in my heart, whine and complain occasionally, and hopefully inject some humor along the way. What would we do without words to read and words to write? Without a way to express ourselves or enjoy and learn from the way others have expressed themselves? How boring life would be without words!!!
Thanks for sticking with me. I will be back, I promise! I do plan to to take a few days off (although not 100 like I've threatened), but I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stay away! I enjoy writing probably more than you enjoy reading.
Finally, remember the bloggy giveaway! You have until midnight tonight to enter simply by leaving a comment about something for which you are thankful. You can leave comments on any post from Day 98 through today. I will post the winner--and the prize--later this week.
And, if there are any "lurkers" out there, please make yourselves known! I admit to lurking at quite a few blogs, so be brave and let me know you're out there reading. Please leave a comment. You just might win, and I will mail you the package if you do! I promise!
It's been fun folks! Thanks again!

Yea!! You did it! CONGRATULATIONS!
Go ahead and take a few days off, but not too many....I don't want to have to go through "Jen withdrawl."
Woo hoo!! You made it to day 100!! Enjoy your little "break" but please come back soon. Denise
Yay, you made it! Hope you don't take too many days off! It's been fun reading!
Way to go! I'm looking forward to my end in a few weeks. It's been fun reading all your blogs!
Congratulations! I have enjoyed reading your blog and speaking with you at church. Enjoy your days off!
Congratulations!!! You did an absolutely wonderful job. While I'm here, I thought I would let you know how thankful I am for all the lovely ladies who took the time to get to know me, even though we never expected to be here long. I appreciate the community that has surrounded me, and it has made these two years much better than they would have been otherwise. Truly a lifesaver!!!
(I also appreciate you putting up with me when my grammar has always been a struggle, and my spelling isn't much better.)
Thank you for letting those of us outside your inner circle be amused, challenged, and entertained by giving us a glimpse into your lives. You truly do have a gift.
YAY JEN!!!!
You did it!!! woohoo!
I have enjoyed reading your blogs. It has become a daily habit of mine. Now what I am going to do?? lol
Hey, did I mention that I am also thankful for the DVR?? I dont have to rewind a tape...now that is something to be thankful for! haha. enjoy your day!
Yea!! Congratulations on making it to 100!! Please don't stay away too long - I look forward to reading your blog (and the others that I lurk on) when I get my "computer time" in the evenings =]
i was rooting on you! i have you book marked! congrats! i'm so thankful for all the women who blog about their lives and give me strength and inspiration!
wow you did it! not that I doubted you for even one second! great job...now when does the book come out?
Jen, I have been stalking your blog for some time now. I really enjoy reading it. When I want to treat myself in the evenings after the kids go to bed, I catch up on your posts. I can't believe you've blogged for 100 days...that just seems miraculous to me. I can't even keep up with my laundry lately! Anyway, I'm thankful that the internet allows me to stalk people without actually breaking the law! Thanks for all your posts and for feeding my addiction. (By the way, I think my name just shows up as Melissa...it's Melissa Mowry.)
Wow!! I am impressed, but I never doubted you would make it 100 days, you have always been the type to finish what you start. I have enjoyed reading what is going on in your lives and as one who does not like to cook - I am thankful for the receipes you share, as is my family!!
I am thankful for peace that can only come from God. Supernatural peace that can bring comfort in the worst storms of life.
I read each and every of the 100! It was fun!!!
