Celebrate 5 Years with Wifely Steps
My husband and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary on May 24. I started this blog shortly after we got married in 2003, and it’s been a wonderful experience for me. It was a way to help newlyweds adjust, and it’s blossomed into a home filled with fabulous friendships. It’s only fitting that I celebrate these 5 years with you too!
As my way of saying thanks, I am giving away a set of journals to 5 bloggers.

Each blogger will also get one pair of Magnetic Journals.

You’ll notice that one Just Write It journal is bigger than the others. Whoever gets that will also get a copy of one of my favorite books: Batjay‘s Mga Kwento ng Batang Kaning Lamig.

Would you like to join?
Here are the rules:
1. Write about your favorite Wifely Steps entry in your blog. (If you don’t have a blog, why not create one now?)
2. Link back to http://wifelysteps.com.
3. Leave a comment in this entry, leading to your post.I’ll send the prize to wherever you are, but I won’t be responsible if it gets lost in the snail mail blackhole, deal? Let’s cross our fingers and hope that doesn’t happen!
This contest will run for ten days. You can enter the contest till May 30, 11.59pm Manila time. I will draw the winners via ye olde fashioned tombola (a.k.a. a candy jar).
This is my little way of saying thank you to my readers! I am sharing these journals as blogging has given me a lot of happiness the past five years. I am also sharing Batjay’s book because he’s a man with a great sense of humor, and you know how laughter is very important in a marriage!
So many thanks guys. I hope you can come celebrate with me!

Happy Anniversary, Toni! Five years, yay! Isn’t it great that your wedding and blogging anniversary fall on the same month and the same year? It’ll save you the trouble of remembering separate dates when you get to reach my age. (Note to self: 17th wedding anniversary, check; 1st blogging anniversary, hmmm, I forget when… See?)
A gift for you then, on your anniversary- http://okasaneko.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/stepping-up-to-be-wifely/ . This is my entry to your contest, though I am keener on showing you my appreciation rather than winning the prizes.
Many thanks for the smiles you bring every day. God bless always!
