Well, technically, it was yesterday ... but who's keeping count?
____________________________________________________________
When wedding planning ended, I was bored. Wedding planning consumed me. I thought about it everyday, at least 100 times a day. I dreamt about it. Sometimes they were amazing dreams about how gorgeous I looked and sometimes they were nightmares about me arriving to the church in my birthday suit. I woke up many times afraid of my wedding and annoyed that it had so much power.
Once it was over I felt relieved but I missed it. I wanted to do the fun parts all over again. I needed a new hobby because I didn't feel right logging into the wedding website, that honestly should have paid me for the amount of time I spent talking about it.
I was a hostess at this amazing wedding website and it took me months to finally give that status up. Once I did that I knew it was over. I had no reason to log on and stare at wedding dresses all day at work. No excuse.
What was going to be my new freaking hobby?
It was at that wedding website that I saw a forum post about blogging. This person was talking about how much fun it was and if we could share what our blogs were and she would follow.
I was curious and clicked on a few blogs and that was the beginning of a new addiction.
You mean to tell me that I could make a blog and talk about anything I wanted. ANYTHING?! Oh boy!
A few days later, my blog was born. I knew that I was going to talk about my life. It wasn't going to be just one topic because I am just not about one thing. But I wasn't exactly sure how it worked so not too long into it, I decided blogging wasn't for me.
I find that so surprising now.

One day, I had something to talk about. And soon one follower became 50 and so on. I now had to blog. People were following me and there was no way that I could leave them hanging. It didn't matter if it wasn't going to be an exciting post, I was going to blog because they found me interesting for some very odd reason.
I am so excited to be a part of this blogging world. It is such a release and it lets me get away to talk about my feelings and my everyday world. Even if that world isn't very exciting, it is my world.
I also know it is going to be amazing to look back and see just how much of my life has been documented in this blog.
I want to say a big thank you to my fabulous followers who have just been amazing. I love reading your comments and I lovestalking following your lives.
I hope to continue blogging and following your lives for a long time to come! :)

ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful Faith! 'Happy Blogiversary to you, Happy Blogiversary to you.' Whew, say that five times fast.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it was hard giving up hosting duties at the wedding site, but the great thing about blogging is that you're in charge, and the blog changes and grows along with you. No need to limit yourself to just one topic. Your WHOLE life is the topic. That's really cool. =)
I wish you many years of wonderful things to look back on.
Happy, Happy New Year to you.
