A Big Anniversary Snuck By

Hey all, long time no talk. A bit of prior warning: this is gonna be a shorter post because it's for a special occasion. Things have been super busy and I've been pretty forgetful about updating. I actually remembered I hadn't updated in a while back in late March and I planned to update right on the big anniversary of my blog, but I got swamped at work that week, missed the date, and then kept putting it off until now. But it's time I got around to saying...

HAPPY 10 YEARS!!!

Crazy to think I've been regularly maintaining this thing for 10 years. At this point in my life, there are very few things I can say I've done regularly for 10 years so this feels like a bit of an accomplishment. And thanks to all you guys for reading it through the years as well. It's really crazy (and cool) to look back at earlier posts and see how drastically my life has changed. Growing up is really neat haha.

Now with that out of the way, it's time to discuss the future of the blog. More recently, I had been toying with the idea of shutting it down because I don't update much anymore but I think I have a different solution now. What I'll be doing is just lowering the amount of updates I make. This blog once had a great purpose of letting people know what I was thinking and sharing weird stories through high school and college, as well as letting people keep up with my life when we all separated during college. But nowadays it seems our group of friends is really good about communicating online so I feel like I'm keeping up with your lives pretty well and it seems like you're able to keep up with my life pretty well also. So for that reason I'm going to start doing updates differently. I'll be looking to do them quarterly (March, June, September, December). In addition, I'll try to start shifting to a different type of content in my posts. I feel like I can only tell you the same 5 things for so long before it gets tedious so I'll try to be doing less talking about mundane events and more talking about significant thoughts or interesting events or anecdotes. Hopefully that keeps the content here more interesting. I might break my plan quickly at the start here by making a post in April if I get time, but if not, then you have to wait until June.

So there we have it, no immediate plans to shut down the blog but the possibility doesn't not exist. In the meantime though, we have lots of good times to look forward to. For now...peace out.
