hi, i'm happy.

joy: guess what, sister? my blog has 300 followers too! and it's called the cupcake dictionary too!

me: why is it called cupcake dictionary?
joy: because i couldn't think of any name for a blog except cupcake dictionary.
me: that's pretty cool!

i got a fluttery feeling in my stomach when i realized the number 300 was on my dashboard. it's been a year of cupcakes and dictionaries and other miscellaneous ramblings. and over 300 of you have tagged along for the ride. i had no idea i was going to make it this far, and now that i did, i would like to say thank you in a very special way. -insert le giveaway-

it's been a year. a whole year. i've hit the publish button 438 times since january 26th, 2011. i didn't know cupcake dictionary was going to be this big. i think i only stayed with this blog long enough because i asked God to keep me dedicated to it. goes to show that His plans are amazing, no? thank you all from the very bottom {and top} of my heart. truly. it's a privilege to be writing everyday to you guys, whether you're from texas or even brazil. i love each and every one of you and i wish you all a cupcake fiesta!
