Blogaversary!

Blogaversary!

Today is officially my one year anniversary of blogging! I first started blogging because I came acrossed so many blogs that I loved to read on and wanted to comment on but didn't want to seem like a weirdo who these bloggers didn't know. I originally thought I would just post enough for them to know a tad bit about me so they knew who I was and that would be it.

But sooner rather than later, I caught the blogging bug and here I am one year later. I actually do 2 blogs now, one for family and this one. I have met many, many friends through blogging and I have reconnected better with family through blogging.

I have a stat counter that tells me who reads here. But, because I don't always check the stat counter, I mainly rely on the comments. Sometimes I wonder if blogging is worth it if nobody (or few people) comments but then I realize that even if no one else is reading this is a great journal for me!

Yes, blogging is my big "time suck." But it is fulfilling enough that I keep at it. It is SO interesting for me to go back and read my old posts and see what I was doing a year ago (in middle of a move) and see how I've grown and become a better person as I struggle through the challenges of life.

Hey Kari, I have to say that I love to read your blogs at least then we over here in Montana can see what is going on in the family's life:) And it is great to see the pictures of the kids and you and Laren. Since we don't get to see much of each other hence the miles between us. It kind of seems like we aren't so many miles apart with this blogging thing:D Talk to you soon!

I think in moderation, blogging is a fantastic outlet and I am so happy to have found it (and you). I plan to get it professionally printed off so I can have a record of my family.

Happy Blogiversary!
