Awhile ago, my blog friend Maiken  gave me this 

Blogger Appreciation Award.

Part of the award was to answer some questions.

How long have you been blogging?
My very first blog post,
in July of 2008.

It was about Texas weather
post found here.

Why did you start blogging?
We had just moved to Texas. We were three states away from our friends & family.  I wanted to stay connected by sharing my life with them.

Our first concert in Texas was Death Cab for Cutie.

What is one thing you'd like to improve on as a blogger?
Instead of answering this question now,
 I want to talk how my blogging has changed. 

 
In 2008, my photos were too small,
so was my text.

Our first trip to the
Dallas Museum of Art

In 2008 I wrote a lot of words. 
I was more raw with my emotions.

What types of blogs do you like to follow/read?

I like different types of blogs for different reasons.
I like blogs that show a person's experience, & point of view. I like to see their interests whether: music, art, fashion, photography, funny stuff, or random information.
