6 Years

I have been writing this blog since January 2008.

Really.

834 posts (well this will be the 835th).

6 years.

I guess I have had a lot to say. What has happened in those 6 years? If I was talented like Billy Joel, I would write a song like "We Didn't Start The Fire", but I'm not, so you will get some random musings.

*I started married, currently pending divorce.

*I started knowing no bloggers, now friends with a bunch of people all over the country that I would never have met otherwise.

*My girls were 10 and 9 when I started. I'll do the math for you, they are now 16 and 15.

*I started writing this one night when I had heartburn. I still get heartburn. All. The. Time.

*My favorite posts are the ones where the girls have done something hysterical or said something funny.

*I definitely look at life with a skewed view.

*I still love taking photos and have taken thousands in the past 6 years.

*I have had so many opportunities through my blog like going to Chicago, NYC, San Diego, Stonewall Kitchen in York, ME, conferences, store openings, giving away things, doing product reviews and I have loved ALL OF IT!!!

*My girls and I have been recognized at the mall because of the blog. Weird, right?

*I believe that I have become a better writer.

*I had to take down some posts on weddings that I photographed because one person complained to my boss (the head photographer) that I was mean. We still laugh about this.

*I still eat M&Ms every single day.

I think over the next month or so, I will review some of my favorite posts that you may have never read or forgotten. Selfishly, this gives me an excuse to reread my older posts.
