Can it really be the third birthday of my Blog? I am feeling pretty stunned, but also very happy. What started out as an adventure at the suggestion of my husband has actually taken on a life of it's own. The words I wrote on my blog's first birthday in 2015 I still find very appropriate:
"It comes as a real surprise to me that I published my first blog posting one year ago on June 10, 2014. When my husband suggested that I create a blog to share our nomadic life I had to pause to consider. The truth of the matter was that I had to educate myself as to exactly what was a blog. There definitely was much to learn and consider, but it was a challenge and exciting. And since I had a considerable amount of time on my "retired" hands, why not? This blog gig has grown on me and it has definitely become very much a labor of love. I enjoy the whole blog process from deciding the subject of my next posting, to working on the photographs to be shared in the posting, and to researching the information I want to share with my blog readers. I started this experience learning to crawl like an infant and now I feel like a soon-to-be toddler."
So here we are. Another year of sharing our "nomadic," and now "settled," life and all of the wonderful memories and experiences. I like to think I am progressing in this blogging experience and hopefully my posts are becoming more interesting, more entertaining, and more informative. Until our next birthday celebration, I thank you for joining me along this journey and I look forward to another year of MEXICO AND BEYOND: LAURA'S PHOTO JOURNEY.
