first birthday.

happy birthday, mary poppins!

i resisted blogging for so long... i wasn't sure if i'd be up for the committment... but who would have guessed i'd love it so much!?

in the past year, i've:

composed 342 blog posts
asked 36 questions on wednesdays
discovered 51 sweet things
been to 674578 concerts
traveled 250543 times
made friends with 3 strangers
{friends of friends.... not real strangers. that'd be weird.}
reconnected with 12 old friends
traveled to 7 cupcake shops in 4 states
given 520 people something to look at
blogged about boyz ii men at least 5 times
and...
kept zero secrets.
