A Very Happy Anniversary

Hello all!

As a bonus, we can all test our lung capacity!

Can you believe that it’s been a year since I started this thing? Me neither. And what a year it’s been! When I started on this magical adventure in public narcissism last year, my husband was an unemployed attorney who had never been to Europe and I was a full-time work-from-home contractor who had never been to graduate school.

And look at us now!

My husband is now an employed attorney who has been to Europe and I am a full-time work-from-home contractor who also attends graduate school full-time. To celebrate our successes (and even our various not-so-successes), I thought I’d tell you all about my 12 favorite things that have happened during this year of blogging:

12: Bret got a job!

…after a year and twenty three days of unemployment no less. Sometimes, we even go to fancy parties.

11: Someone sent me a free book!

Which we all enjoyed even though the cover makes it seem like a creepy ghost story.

10: GOMI noticed me!

…to be fair, it was for a comment I made on my good buddy Lladybird’s blog. Notoriety in any form, right?

9: Kendra bought me lunch!

…and we all discovered that she’s not 6’8”.

8: Super Swell Times won a crazy chain letter award!

This was also thanks to Kendra. Which obviously means that we’re going to be best friends forever, right? RIGHT?

7: I confessed a lot of embarrassing things!

Perhaps if my costume had been this cool, things would have been way different.

From my stint as a terrible liturgical dancer to the fact that I don’t understand what parish hopping means, we covered a lot of ground this year (including the time I was attacked by a herd of goats). I predict even more shameless confessing this year.
