Milestone

Not gonna lie.

I've been stressed about this post.

Not even kidding.

It's really not a big deal, but its my 100th post!

I wanted to do something really cute and clever to celebrate.

So I've been putting it off while waiting for my creative juices to flow.

Alas, I was bamboozled by

my total lack of creativity--

and lots and lots of high school transcripts--

and a debilitating cold that will not leave me alone.

So this is what I ended up with:Nice. I know.

I was reminiscing last night about how I started this blogging thing in the first place. My sister-in-law, Cam, had/has a blog. She's a creative genius, though, and her blog is exceptional (check it out), so I felt a little intimidated. But it looked like fun, so I figured why not. Chances of anyone actually reading it were slim. Little did I realize there is a huge universe of bloggers out there--and in no time I was finding old/new/current friends to keep in touch with.

My first post was about C's adventures in applying for graduate school. I remember writing it. I remember "knowing" he was going to go to BYU (life, its so twisty-turny). We were sitting in our History of Creativity class. It was a night class--2 1/2 hours long. So I wrote it and figured out the pictures and everything--I pushed "publish post" and there it was! I was so proud. However, I didn't actually tell anyone about the blog until a few posts later.

I really love my blog. Its fun to have a place to say whatever you want, from the meaningless to the meaningful, from the major to the mundane, I share it all here. And I've realized that I switch off between writing about my (our) doings and my (just my, usually) thinkings. I like that. I've also become more comfortable in my blogosphere skin. Not too worried about sounding smart or exciting. Just write what I think/feel/want to. I like that too.

I want to thank my readers (BOTH of you!) and anyone else who's ever skimmed across my crazy thoughts--especially if you left comments. I heart comments.

I'm getting sentimental. I'm not sure why. It's November 13th! Where did November go? Where did 2008 go?! How did all the sudden my little baby blog with 3 posts on it grow to the big 100 mark? What's with time and the way it always flies? Like I said, I'm getting sentimental.

Anyway, there you have it.

My 100th post in all its glory.

I'm glad its done with, actually.

Now I can stop stressing and move on to 101.
