You say it's your blirthday... well it's my blirthday too...

It seems ironic that the gift for a first anniversary is a paper item, as this last year my blog and I have shared many things… but not one transcribed upon paper. One year ago today my blog and I began our relationship… and through that I began mine with you. February 16, 2005. I was finally encouraged by my friend Rusty to begin a blog… just about a week after finding out what one was.

Oh what a difference a year makes… my life has evolved so much in some ways, not where I had hoped in others, yet through it all, blog, you have been by my side, at my fingertips. You have been with me through bad days, bad nights, bad dates and a bad job. Blog you have been with me through fun weekends, falling in love and heartbreak.

You, my sweet sweet blog, have allowed me to “meet” so many amazing people that I never would have known. Some whom I have actually met in real life… some whom I know shall be around for years to come… and perhaps some who are sure we are destined to be together… but we’ll discuss that further next year.

Through you blog I have solace, a sounding board and a committee to turn to when I may be unsure about things in my life. So thank you for this fabulous first year. Here's to another...
