4th Belated Blogiversary

It's been four years since I opened my life to cyberspace.  Four years from today...at least that's what I thought until just now when I looked back to see that my first blog post was actually August 5th of 2008...not August 28th.  But since I've been planning my Blogiversary for today...it will now be my "Belated Blogiversary."

Because in my first-ever post I was worried about having something "interesting to say," I will stress no more about that, and will say only things that I know to be "true" – interesting or not.

This mom ↑ would not recognize this mom ↓ .  One has evolved into the other through trials, tears and triumphs.  Although they may be strangers across time, it is true that they would be friends.

It is true that I grow things because I want to, I cook only because I have to.  This is one of our sunflowers...finally in bloom.

In four years I can truthfully say that raising boys is difficult.  Making them happy is simple.  Having a husband who is employed is a blessing.  Not having to work more hours than necessary is worth eating from Aldi and dressing from Savers any day!

Although much has changed in the past four years, much remains the same.  The things I love are still constant and dear.  Books, trees, the arts, and my children...first one and now two.  Four people in my family, one four-year-old, one four-legged friend, and four years on the web.

Here's to the next FOUR!
