First Anniversary Celebration

==First Anniversary Celebration==
May 22nd, 2009 through May 31st, 2009.
This has been an amazing first year and this is a fantastic community.
In so many ways it seems only yesterday that we began this journey, and yet here we are at our one year anniversary.
During this first year we have been blessed with the opportunity to celebrate with one another such joyful occasions as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Birthdays, Anniversaries and the other holidays and special events that form the shared experiences of a community.
We are so excited to be starting our second year and we already have projects in the works and ideas to take us through at least the next 20 years! We look forward to seeing everyone here for at least the next 20 anniversaries!
Our first anniversary celebration starts today and we have lots of exciting things happening.
