Milestones

When I turned 40 I decided that every year starting with that one I would do something I had never done before. That year I rode in a helicopter. I have done various things since that time, traveled places I had never gone before, tried things I had never tried before. And then I went back to college and my yearly quest sort of took care of itself. I took my first dance class, did my first college production, directed for the first time, performed with a British dialect for the first time and started my first blog. I could go on and on with all of the firsts of the past three years. This year I will graduate and then go on my first out of the country mission trip.

But today I hit a milestone that sort of blows my mind. Since my blog crashed and my son had to reconfigure it about a year ago I have had over 50,000 page reads of my blog. Sometime while I was at school today it clicked over and has kept clicking. It makes me feel really good to know that so many of you guys have been interested in my experiences in college and I am hoping once I am finished to share even more stories. So thank you for reading and thanks for all of your support. I hope all of you are planning to come to my graduation in May! Now that would be amazing!! I really do not expect that, but I do hope you know I really will be thinking of each of you as I walk across to get that diploma, without this outlet I could not have made it! THANKS!
