Happy 6th Blogiversary To Me!

Nathan and I six years ago.

So way way back on February 21, 2005, I created this here blog, Water Water Everywhere. This was not the beginning of my presence on the internetz by any stretch, but it was the beginning of this space which has grown and evolved in the past six years. Six years is very long time in the realm of blogging and I'm very happy with the little community that has formed here. What began as a way to sharpen my own creativity and writing skills has become a passion, a platform, and even a gateway to some great perks.

This post was supposed to be a lot more fun and celebratory. I was planning some cool giveaways for this occasion, which I should still get to later this week or so, but I am sick. As a dog. I think it's the flu, for realz. Fever, pain everywhere, and gross cough. Woke up with it this morning, totally unexpectedly. I apologize to whoever I may have inadvertently shared my germs with, especially our awesome dinner guests last night. I'm kicking myself for never getting the flu shot this season. I had to miss church this morning which is the highlight of my week, and it devastated me. It's highly likely I'll have to miss 1:17 tomorrow night, our orphan care and adoption Life Group, and that really has me upset too. I haven't been this sick in a very long time and I hope I can kick this virus in the butt fast through lots of sleep, fluids and vitamin C. My fever seems to be gone already, which is the only reason I can even type this post. But for now, this post will have to do and I hope you'll celebrate my blog's anniversary with me this week.
