2 years of this

Hey, guys. 

My blog is officially two years old. 

The Terrible Twos.

Thank goodness blogs are not like small humans (hopefully). 

But I just wanted to say thank you to those of you who have taken the time to read my work and been a part of my life, whether online or off, whether for two years of if this is your first time reading. I love you and am so thankful for you. 

I just wanted to do a quick look back over the past two years. To when - 

I didn't have a brother yet and I was convinced his name was going to be Ptoelmy. 

Thank goodness you didn't listen to me, Bamber. Owen is a much safer choice. 

To when  we survived the end of the world together. 

To my most favorite blog post ever.

 To the one you guys liked the most and I still can't understand why.

To when you guys voted on the cover for my first novel.

To when I officially made Riley Girl for sale and I was terrified but so excited I couldn't breathe.

To when I (arguably) made the worst mistake of my life an uploaded a video about Tofu to youtube. 

 To when I started writing short stories. I couldn't/wouldn't have posted them without your support.

 To my senior year of high school and it's beautiful, bittersweet chaos.

To my first days of college in a brand new state over 400 miles away from my home. 

To now, this moment, where I can look back and be so utterly thankful for all of you and this beautiful life I have been given. 

To conclude, I thought I'd throw in a throwback Tuesday worthy selfie of me two years ago and now for your viewing pleasure. 

I was such a dork. 

Good thing that hasn't changed.
