On Saturday, I will celebrate my three year blogversary! It's hard to believe, but I have been blogging for almost three years. In those three years, I've learned a lot about the blogging community, technology, and "IF's." (Internet Friendships) I've discovered how much I like to write, whether it's journaling, sharing life's ups and downs, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or memes. Take a walk with me down memory lane...
