Blogiversary!

They grow up so fast. My baby blog is now a toddler – two years today!

Soon the blog may even go from babbling to talking.

And before I know it, it might start causing trouble.

Seriously, though. It’s amazing how big a part the blog – and you! – play in my life now. Thank you, thank you for dropping by, speaking up, sticking around, making me smile. I feel blessed.

Yesterday I logged into the blog and saw my stats counter. One of my quirks quickly surfaced.

Have I told you before? I can be a geek about numbers. Not numbers as in math. As in number combinations, hidden (probably nonexistent) meanings.

So the 99,999 was cool. But it meant one more visit and I’d break 100,000, just in time for my blogiversary. I did! Nice milestone.

I had also secretly been hoping my 200th post would coincide with my 2 years (I’m close – in the 190s right now).

But, as we know, things don’t always line up perfectly. And that’s ok. More interesting that way, too. This messy, unpredictable, confusing, joyous life is just awesome. Thanks for coming along for the ride!
