Belated Anniversary!

Whoa! Sometimes, time flies when you're having fun! It flew by so quick that we totally missed RANCHO COCOA's ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! Yaaaaaaaaay! We've been blogging for over a year now, ever since March 4th, 2008 - our very FIRST POST! So much stuff has happened between now and then that I can't even begin to wrap my head around it...

...we travelled far and wide by land, sea, and air (China twice! Hong Kong! Seattle! Ummm....Pittsburgh!) and went sight seeing in our own "backyard"; we had our share of house guests - friends and family who came to visit from a afar; we performed many a show and watched many a show; we made a ton of stuff and participated in numerous art shows and craft fairs and visited many museums; we discovered more and more the joys and frustrations of being homeowners; we ate glorious food; we started a couple of sister blogs with Craft Athens, Athens Chruch of Craft, and Popgun Recordings; we were interviewed for different blogs, zines, magazines, newspapers; we saw easter eggs being dropped from a helicopter, won a costume contest at Halloween, rescued a lovable little bunny on Valentines, and survived a freak snow storm just as Spring had sprung...the list goes on and on and on. And through it all, we tried to document it the best we could, whenever we could find the time and energy - 300 posts and this one is one more in a long list of many more to come. The archive is bursting at the seams. Anyways, I didn't know how we'd take to this blogging thing when we first started out, but I can safely say that we had a lot of fun with it through the past year (seems like we've been doing Rancho Cocoa for so much longer) and we hope to have even more fun in the next 12 months to come. Thank you everyone for reading our blog, whether you stopped by once or stop by often.

MUCH LOVE! Raoul & Missy & Nilla & Oreo
