{8 Years}

Blogging Me

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Shitty-party

Happy Friday!  I am so glad that Friday is finally here.  What a long week! 

So this month is my 8th Anniversary.  Anniversary of what, you might ask?  Well, this little blog of mine turned 8 years old just about a week ago.  Crazy! 

Eight years ago, I didn't know anything about blogging (I still don't), but I decided to start documenting what was going on in my life.  I was an avid scrapbooker at the time, and my son was getting ready to start high school.  I felt like I wanted another way to document everything.  My very first post can be found HERE.  Totally cracks me up!  My blog has taken many twists and turns over the years, focusing mostly on scrapbooking and my kids, moving to crafting a bit, taking an almost two year break (very sporadic posts), and ending up back to where it is now.  Pretty much where it began.  Just me and my thoughts and my life.  Still documenting things, both big and small, exciting (to me) and non-eventful (to you), happy and sad. 

It's been fun to look back on some of the posts and remember a specific time in my life.  I'm so glad I decided to start a blog 8 years ago.  Even if I am the only one still reading it!

Pretty crazy to go back and look at some of the posts!  So much has happened in the last 8 years!  So much that I didn't even blog about! 

All in all, I'm really glad I started this blog!  It's nice to be able to look back on the years! And it is always nice to connect with others via the internet!  Thanks for coming along on this ride with me!

HAPPY FRIDAY! 

And now, I have a couple of questions for you:

Do you blog?  If so, for how long?

Do you like reading blogs?  What are some of your favorites?

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love to hear from you!  Leave me a comment!
