Time Flies

I can hardly believe that one year ago today I sat down at my computer and started this here blog. I don't really remember why I felt like it was a good idea, I was probably just bored!

In honor of the big day, I've been doing some research on my very own blog.

Here we go:

This post was where it all began one year ago.

This post has received the most comments.

I don't really know why I felt the need to post this for the whole internet to read.

If you want to know random things about me, go here and here.

And, finally, this is probably my favorite post. It has just as much impact today as it did when I wrote it.

I can also share that I have had, as of this morning, 10,035 visits to my blog in the last year. That's insane! Of course, about 9,876 of those are probably my parents. I don't really care about the number, but I do find it interesting.

I feel like a year (and 141 posts) later, I probably have a better understanding of why I choose to put my thoughts out here for the whole world to read than I did when I first began. I love to make people laugh, so if I can think of something funny to say this is a great place for it. It is a great way for me to share with my far-away family and friends what is happening. I'm not the best at oral communication (especially on the phone) so this is a much better way for me to communicate. I have a nice "journal" of all the things that happen in my life. I feel like if I put it on my blog, I have to do it, there is great accountability here.

It's been a great year! I've had lots of fun sharing different parts of my life with all 5 of you who read this. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I try to document where I've been and where I'm going.
