Happy Blogday!

Yesterday (the 20th) was my blog’s 3rd birthday. Amazing how these last 3 years have flown by, yet so much has happened. I went back and read my August of 2001 posts. They made me a little misty. Here’s a reason why:

Monday, August 20, 2001 Yay! I’m so excited to be starting this blog. I know I’ll be able to stick to journaling now, esp in this format. I’ll have to start in the morning though. Time to go visit Melissa and meet Davis!

Since then, Davis has turned into an adorable 3 year old. But Melissa hasn’t been there to see it since she passed away June 14, 2002. I also spent a lot of August 2001 blogging about getting pregnant and how I could time it just right blah blah blah. Well, we all know how that’s turned out.

BUT, since then some amazing things have happened as well. Jon and I moved into our fabulous home, we adopted the most adorable pugs ever, we’ve grown even closer and are more in love than ever, we discovered IKEA, we’ve gone on some fun trips, our cute as can be nephew Jake was born, and we’ve made some wonderful friends that I just could not live without now. I’m a firm believer in the whole “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” idea, and I’m not dead yet. So I’m looking forward to the next few years. I know they are full of possibility and hope. And I’ll be able to continue to share everything with my dear bloggy friends!
