7 years good luck!

Why the crazy picture you ask? Because I'm celebrating and I couldn't find all the party decorations without waking up the kids. So instead you get a thumbs up sign and a wacky looking face to say that my blog is officially 7 years old!

I was archiving a few things and realized that I posted my first blog in March of 2005. Seriously? Now please do not go back and read those first few blogs they are truly AWFUL. Of course now that I've said that, you probably will so may I just apologize now?

Today I am doing cartwheels (pervebial ones because I have pretty bad knees) and screaming from the rooftops (or maybe just quietly squeaking) about this achievement. It's definitely been a long ride and a fun one. From those first few years of documenting my wild ride in Northeast Georgia to having kids, moving, and discovering who I am. I can honestly say, these last seven years have been such a great experience. And even though I literally squirm in my seat when I read some of the embarrassing testimonies, I can at least take solice in the fact that I was genuine. So here's to 70 times 7 more years of blogging fun and all of the good and bad that life has to offer in between.

Wow. Has it really been seven years? Of course I say that about a lot of things these days. It seems that as you get older, time periods compress in such a way that it always feels like things just happened. Where did the time go? Anyway ...

Erin, I can always count on your blog to be funny, entertaining, educational, or just plain fun to read. And I appreciate that you are open and honest. On top of it all, you are willing to poke fun at yourself and have a good time (love the latest pics on your blog theme)

BTW - of course I had to go back and read your first blog entry. It was so sad :-( Sorry you were having such a rough time back then ... but thankfully, all is much better and you are back in good ol' Redding!

Oh Erin, I still remember laughing hysterically at the blogs you wrote when you were living in Georgia. They were SO funny & always made my day. You have a gift my friend, and you're using it well!
