Happy Blogoversary!

When I first started blogging, three years ago today, I had the idea that a blog would be a great way to stay in touch with far-flung family and friends. (And, apparently, a chance to show off my mad alliteration skillz. Let me show you them.) What quickly dawned on me back then is that so few of those people actually read it. But I stuck with it anyway, and I'm so glad I did. Blogging, for me, has become such a great creative outlet. It's markedly different from the day-to-day writing that I do, and even though I don't really talk about my research here, I find that just having this blog and having the opportunity to write in a different way makes my other writing better, less daunting, more familiar. For those reasons, and a number of others, I find blogging incredibly rewarding. Thanks for being along for the ride, it's been a great three years! Oh, and make sure you get a piece of cake before you go!
