A Happy 3rd Anniversary Was Had By All

Yesterday was the third anniversary of the my very first post on this blog. I think I have had just about as many template changes as I have posts. I am almost done with this one, but still have some more ideas, I want to try and figure out.

I started this blog with a post called, Quality of Life where I tried to write about my thoughts having traveled all over the world. I am still trying to find a way to write about my thoughts. I think I have gained more wisdom than I have imparted to others.

It was through the multiple attempts to make this blog pretty and unique that I discovered my love of web design/development. I tend to have more fun changing the colors than coming up with words. While I started with a lot to say, I still have tons more to say, the journey took me on a new path in my life.

I was on a path to become a high school math teacher three years ago. I had a lovely little one year old Lily at home, a lovely thirteen year old Mandy who I was still taller than, and I was taking classes face to face at the University of Maryland campus located on the base in Misawa, Japan where we lived. I would be up all night at school and up early in the morning with the little one.

So much has changed yet it all remains the same. I was in a good place when I started this blog and I am still in a good place. I still have a lot to do, a lot to accomplish, many bad habits to break...

I spent the day yesterday hoping to finish my blog redesign and then write a fabulously interesting blog post reminiscing about the past three years. Instead I ended up taking Lily to play with her friends at McDonald's and then we ended up outside playing with other friends. I won a 9 year old in a foot race. I tried to teach Lily to pedal her new bike. But, working on the blog, did not really happen much.
