#champagnetoasts

I'm taking the liberty of celebrating my FIRST BLOGGIVERSARY one day early. Truth be told, I've always found any excuse to start a party prematurly. But seeing as tomorrow will be a day for saying goodbye, I felt it especially appropriate to celebrate today. Plus, who doesn't like a good party on a Monday?

I can't believe it was just one year ago that sweet Haley introduced me to this little blogging community and although I've taken the occasional vaca from my entries [read: wedding craziness], I've never looked back.

You all have given me advice about rehearsal dinner dresses, let me spam you with wedding photos, listened to rants about changing my name, welcomed new friends with open arms [and flashy dashboards], celebrated new furniture and new jobs [yes, that's plural. here we go again] and lifted up my irl friends when life turned upside down.

Through 672 posts, over 1,220 "likes" and countless new online friends, you have all welcomed me into your homes [and hearts]. For that, I am eternally grateful.

So, here's to the next year of champagnetoasts... May it bring as much love, laughter and high-heeled glory as the past 365 days!
