Many moons ago, August 24, 2011 to be exact, I made my first entry to R&W.
Back then I was known as LMF or Little Miss Fun, until I realized how impractical that name was.
I started with zero followers and had no clue how to do this whole blogging thing.
It started as a place for a newly single 23 year old to vent all of her problems.
I'm not sure how, but I quickly gained followers and became part of the blogging world.
Eventually, my pointless ramblings turned into organized lists about different things I value.
I created fun recurring themes like the Jax Seal of Approval and Let's Play a Jax Game.
The point is: My blog has grown into something I'm real proud of.
...and, of course, I have all of you wonderful readers and followers to thank for that...
Ten thank yous in honor of Raviolis & Waterworks' fourth birthday!
Of course I need to do a fun list in honor of R&W's birthday.

Please join me in wishing R&W a very happy birthday!

ReplyDeleteAw, thank you, Rooth!! It's been so awesome to get to know you through the Blogosphere!
Deleteaw, arent' you sweet! I remember when you were single and your dating stories and your dad (the Viking :) had much to say on it, ha! I was really sad when you stopped blogging for a bit so I'm really glad it was only temporary. Happy Anniversary R&W!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Caitlin! I'm glad to be back also. YES! My dating days made for the best posts. Now it's more like what I have to say about the Viking's dating life. hahaha
DeleteYou're honestly one of my favourite bloggers, and one of the few who's known me since the "World As I see It" days. Thanks for doing what you do :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michael! I really enjoy yours as well. You're always making me laugh. Besides, I can't help but to read your posts in your sexy Australian accent. haha :)
Deletehappy 4th blogiversary to you!! i can't believe i've been reading so long--i remember LMF!!! and thank you for the mention, you wonderful lady!!! you are the sweetest.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Elle!! Yes, you were one of my first followers. LMF was just a terrible name. I don't know what I was thinking. hahaha

Thank you!
DeleteYou started not long after I did (Nov 2010), but your words remind me so much of my own start. I remember in those first few months meeting cool bloggers and seeing so many of them just fade away and moved on to something else. I'm really glad you came back, I think we all missed you on your hiatus
ReplyDeleteThank you, Adam!! I was so happy to see that most of you were still here. I was even happier to see that you all remembered who I am. :)
