Rewind to 2005

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. I MAY EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES.

2005…the year of the birth my blog. Have you read my first post?

Not many people were blogging then. At least that I know of. Blogger was hard to use. Photos were hosted on external sites. There were no widgets. If you wanted to add a link to your sidebar, you had to get your hands dirty in the html code. Those were the days.

In February 2005 I was:
-a graduate student on track to get my PhD in chemistry.
-teaching aerobics at the student health center 3 days a week, and other places 3-4 other days a week.
-living in an apartment with my hubby.
-trying to figure out what I was going to be when I grew up.
-still a newlywed.
-in pretty good shape!

I think those are the important things.

So, today is officially my blogoversary. No, my blog didn’t buy me any flowers, or send a card….but here’s where you come in.

I know I don’t have anything crazy like 1000 hits a day or anything like that, but there are quite a few of you that stop by. So, today, on my 4th blogoversary, will you leave me a little comment love? Pretty please? Come out of the woodwork and say hi. I would love to know who you are:) What if I got like 200 comments? That would be unheard of, right (wink, wink).

    Krystn, I am Stephanie, a good friend of Emily Powell’s. I found your blog on a link from hers. She also talks about you and your sweet girls. You and I are both part time teachers and have kids about the same age. I have 2 boys, 27 months and 4 months. I can relate to your pumping in a back room story!

  29. My dearest Krystyn,

    How do I find the words to express what you have meant to me these past four years?
    We have been through so much together.
    School, marriage, the birth of two precious children.
    And drama…oh…so much drama.
    I have loved every minute of it.
    Though I am not able to send you flowers or a card…know of my love for you and this special bond(blog) we share.
    I hope we have many more years together. Really, I am serious.

    XOXOX
    Your litte blog
    “Really, Are You Serious?”

  30. Love that Grammy!
    Congratulations Krystyn!
