In five years time

I am continually amazed by this blog. What it's become, where it's taken me. It is so much more than I ever imagined it could be when I started five years ago. I only hope that in another five years, I can look back, and say the same.

Thank you all so much for reading, for commenting, for being my friends, and for making it all worth while.

    Happy anniversary, the reason I started following you is because you seem to be a very sweet and honest girl. I identified with many of the insecurities and stories you have shared, especially when it comes to being single. Anyway, hope the best for you and your blog!
