It's My 1-Year Blogoversary!
Hi Everyone!
So excited to say that as of today, my blog is 1 year old!
Last fall, I'd been working in Boston, and I'm not sure how it started, but I was thinking it might be fun to have a blog. I tried really hard to talk myself out of it, you know, "There are already plenty of blogs out there." "What do you have to say that a million other people haven't already said?" "Blogs were cool 10 years ago...you are so behind the curve." Etc.
But when I got home, and had a few free days on my hands (and needed to do something just for me, not for the corporate machine), I decied to go for it. And I'm so glad that I did.
Blogging has been so incredibly fun.
I've met so many amazing people...that's the best part by far.
It's made me really pay attention to what's going on in my life.
It's made me happier, no question.
And I'm really grateful to have such a nice record of all the things that have happened over the past year. A few highlights:
- Always, always thinking of Luke, my brother who died (like here and here)
- A trip to San Francisco (starts here)
- Our long-delayed European honeymoon (starts here)
- The death of my father-in-law
- Success with IVF #4
- A quick trip to Vegas (starts here)
- The loss of our baby girl late in the first trimester
- Southeastern Utah with my dad (we take a trip together each year...it's great)
- Last summer's West coast road trip (starts here)
- Going back to Santa Barbara, where I lived with Luke and have had a hard time returning
- Success with an FET (that's still ongoing with me now in my second trimester)
- Getting to see the babies
- Random happy days, like here and here and here and here and here and here
- And a few random posts that I love (here and here and here)
Finally, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has stopped by, read, left comments, encouraged me, been so kind to me and made this endeavor such a huge success! Y'all are the absolute BEST, and are what has made blogging exceed my wildest dreams and expectations.
Here's to year #2, which should be full of transitions, and lots and lots of happiness.
XOXO
