I have officially moved my thoughts here. Hope to see you there!

Seasons change

January 7, 2009

I started this blog over three years ago to chronicle my life as a soon-to-be mom and write about all the funny and not-so funny things that would happen along the way. I knew it would be fun to do, meeting new people, sharing some laughs, and I would enjoy leaving my small, but significant mark on the world. What I didn’t expect was to embark on a journey that would change my life forever.

Through this blog, I have met and reconnected with many people, people who I have laughed with, cried with, and found support and friendship with. I count myself lucky to have met many of you, especially the ones who have supported me and reached out with your words to rejoice with me on the mountaintops and to cry with me in the valleys.

But like all good things in life, this blog must come to an end. While it was nothing specific that has made me decide to close this chapter of my life, I just feel it was started with the best of intentions and to fill a hole in my heart that was left gaping for so long. That hole has since been filled and it is time to move on. It saddens me so much since this avenue has been healing and therapeutic in ways that I don’t even understand. I have loved sharing with the world things that make me laugh and bring me joy, and three of the most important people in my life - Tim, Conner, and Max - yet I am ready to once again keep my personal life personal and move on to things that concern me in ways that I don’t mind them being public.

So what is a true Laughing Daisies groupie to do? Well, hopped on the twitter band-wagon (after I swore up and down that I would never do it) for those who really want to know what we’re up to, and flickr will still host all of our photo’s. I also created a facebook account (see the post below) since myspace officially creeps me out. And because I seriously am addicted to blogging, I am not giving it up completely. My new blog (still being tweaked and perty-fied) will definitely have a different feel, but will still be 100% me and dive into things that I am really passionate about. I’m very excited about it and hope you’ll join me over there (and please say hello if you do!). You can leave a comment with your email addy or follow me on twitter if you’d like to know when it will be up and running.

For those who have read my blog from day one, thank you for your faithfulness. For those who reached out to me during some of my low-points, thank you for your kindness. For those who introduced yourself from randomly stumbling across this site, thank you for sticking around. And for those who are truly sad that this blog will be no more, thank you for being a part of my life and letting me be a part of yours.
