It’s My First Blogaversary!

Thanks for visiting! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed using the feedburner link to the right.

I wrote my first post on July 13, 2007. In it I said that I was going to wait a while to tell anyone about my blog. I think that lasted a whole week for online friends, and two weeks for real life friends. Oh, well.

E-mail as a Second Language” was my first attempt at being funny.

A little bit of back stage info for my blog:

  • My friend Alicia introduced me to blogs.
  • Arlene’s blog is the one that made me want my own blog. [I was a lurker on her blog when she was first pregnant and living in Japan. Her blog also introduced me to Bloglines, which I now love.]
  • Rachel was the first to leave me a comment and link to my blog.
  • Blogging Basics 101 helped me decide to use Wordpress.
  • My husband bought me my own .com for my birthday in December and I switched to this site on January 1, 2008.
  • My dashboard says that I have 426 posts in 366 days.

I want to say a big thank you to all of you who read this blog regularly. A special thank you to my real life friends Terri, Faith, Hannah, Danielle, and my mother-in-law who read consistently, but don’t have their own blogs.

    Hi Jendi! This is Terri Deitrich writing you…formerly Sucec. I keep in contact with Alicia and saw she had a link to your blog so I checked it out. Sounds like you have a sweet life :) I have a 9 month old baby girl - Adelyn Grace - so I can totally relate to your blogs about the kids. Blessings to you!

    When i was not introduced to blogging world, It was a illusion, I am amazed when I get familiar with blogs. Perhaps this was not easy to indulge myself in blogging world but I decided to swim in blogging seas and I am more than happy now.
    Congrats! It is a loving moment to have a blog aged one year.
