Marked nine years of blogging for me. I started in my teens in college, using what was then a relatively new website (blogger) to publish thoughts that really no one cared about. One of my first posts was a lament about missing an intramural soccer game, wondering if any other women would show up, hoping the coed Dandy Lions would not have to forfeit. COMPELLING STUFF. I am not sure that my voice has developed all that much, but I’m glad y’all have found me and stuck around.

awwww…. I’m glad you stuck around! I think I started reading your blog 8 years ago…. I remember how excited I was that you were just down the road from me :-) It’s been such a pleasure seeing your family grow since then.
I’ve always enjoyed your posts, Kristen. Since I started full time work, I don’t have as much time to surf the net. But you are worth returning to any day.
Blessings,
Carol
I don’t remember when I started reading, but it has been a long time… congrats on nine years! :)
