2 Year Blogiversary

I started out with my first post 2 years ago today! It was a pitiful, picture-less start, but I’ve since added about a billion photos to this blog in over 850 separate posts. As of yesterday morning, according to statcounter, I’d had over 55,000 page views since I started tracking things & I’ve got about 50-70 unique visitors each day. My GAP Adventure review is still a very popular page, but my Houston Wine bar page is quickly catching up. Travel is still the most popular category, along with the highlights of my married life. Zoe has over 100 posts now and I’m collecting quite a few Houston posts.

Currently- I’m a bit photo’ed & blogged out! All those photos from our Africa trip are killing me & I’ve been a bit busy at work. I’m sure the addition of a new puppy will get me back in the photography swing of things. I love, love, love having a blog & being able to keep an online journal of my life. It’s a great place for me to store & share my photos, plus it affords me a place to share my thoughts or add some description to all of our memories.

I have also loved the community of blogging- I’ve become a total blog addict in the last few years thanks to Google Reader. It is great to stay connected to friends around the country, to keep on top of the personal finance world and to see so many other friends loving on their dogs. I’m currently subscribed to 286 blog feeds- everything from news & politics, to photography & photographers, to Vizslas and funny entertainment blogs. I’m still a news-junkie and love all the updates & love keeping up with friends around the country.

As a way to say thank you to all my blog readers, I’m having a special anniversary contest. I’d love to know more about who reads the blog & connect with other bloggers. To celebrate the occasion, I’m giving away a $25 Amazon.com giftcard. Leave a comment, introduce yourself if you are a lurker or tell me what you’d like to see more of on the blog. Contest ends Friday at 5M central time & I’ll randomly select a winner for some fun online shopping this weekend.

GOOD NEWS OF THE DAY: Going to dinner with some friends & their babies tonight.
