Blogiversary Number 2

November 15, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Two years ago today, I posted my first every blog post. A year ago, I celebrated my one year blogiversary. I cannot believe it has been two whole years since I first opened my life up for the world to read. What started as an accountability journal has blossomed into what I never thought or imagined.

 

My first half, 2010

My blog has been the starting point for so many things over the past two years. It is what ultimately helped me get my job at Running Skirts, and it has also allowed me to get to meet and network with some amazing people! I am so thankful and blessed when it comes to my little baby! (yes I treat an inanimate object like my child.)

I know I said this last year, but I have learned so much in the past two years. It is so much fun to go back and see what I was doing TWO years ago. I love having an account for my comings and goings, it’s like a grown up dear diary, but with lots of friends, encouragement, and love.

Thank you readers, for all the love and support you have shown me over the past two years. I love your comments and feedback, and your inspiration. You have helped me to become a better person, and I am so grateful I get to share my little corner of the internet with you. It has been a wild ride with many ups and downs, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

still racing in 2011!

Are there things I wish had gone differently in the past two years? Of course. But I know God works in mysterious ways and has a reason for doing things the way He does. I am forever changing and growing, hopefully becoming a better writer, a better athlete, a better person. Thank you for being patient with me and for being an encouragement. I hope you stick around RWS this year and grow with me. I can’t wait to see what year three brings!

QOTD: Do you have a blog? if so, what would you like to accomplish with it this year? Post a certain number of times a week, take more pictures, get more readers, etc?

    Happy Blogiversary! I agree that I never knew what starting a blog would do – and it’s been amazing! I’m excited to see what year 3 holds for you too 🙂 PS – I love that last picture of you and your pups!

    Congrats on your “blogiversary”! Mine was just last week (#1), and like you, I can’t believe how fast the time has gone! I love reading your blog, and am happy that you decided to start one:) I hope this year is full of all sorts of great blogging things for you!

    Happy Blogiversary! Very exciting! Thanks for the inspiration and insight you share with us all. I hope you have a fabulous third year!
    Goals for my blog–since it is brand new (with a few older posts from our family blog thrown in for good measure) I am hoping to post regularly and get a few regular readers. My only real intention is to use it as a training log and a place to share my thoughts on what I am learning as I run.

    I’d like to get more readers. I currently have 18 followers (of which, I personally know only one of them), which I am honestly surprised about! But then I see you ladies with hundreds of readers and comments on every blog – that’s what I want in 2012!

    Happy Blogiversary! My blog is kind of defunct. I think I’m going to start up a new one, but I don’t really know how/where to start…so many topics, I can actually probably have like 3 separate ones!

    Happy Blogiversary, RWS!! I have been following for not quite a year (?) and I soooo enjoy reading your posts every day. Thank you so much for posting what you do. We are huge Disney fans, even with our boys being older now, I am a runner, and also an avid Runningskirts fan…so you are right up my alley! Congrats to you and keep on blogging for us! 🙂 Good Luck in 2012!! (You also make me think about starting my own blog…hmmm…)

    Happy Blogiversary! I’ve really enjoyed reading your blog over the past several months since starting my own blog. I always enjoy your honest race recaps and the different running skirt outfits you sport for the races!

    Happy Blogiversary! My goal for my blog is to someday be able to post something just like this! I am new to the bloggy world and I love it. The people that you meet (meet?) are just incredible. So, I hope to start posting things that will actually be helpful/entertaining, and hopefully make a few friends along the way.

    Congratualtions!

Disney cruises are the perfect multigenerational vacation because there is truly something for everyone. From kids clubs to adults only dining and entertainment, everyone can do their own thing and then meet back up together for a fun day ashore, in the dining room, or poolside. The options are limitless, and the memories are, too. ❤️

My friends at @bestdayevervacay understand how hard you work for your money and that you want the most magical, memorable, and stress free vacation possible. They are standing by ready and able to answer all of your questions and get your cruise booked. 🚢

So… never. 👀

I wanted something simple, personalized, and actually doable, not a 47-step routine I’d abandon in two days. That’s why I started using Mochi Health for skincare + wellness support, and it’s been one small thing that makes me feel more put together (even when I’m not).

If you’ve been wanting to get your skin and wellness together without overthinking it, I shared more in the reel. Link in bio for $40 off your first month.

San Diego snaps. 📸 Did you know Disney makes it San Diego snaps. 📸 

Did you know Disney makes it SO easy to fly into San Diego for a @disneycruiseline vaca? 🚢 (ad)

Let’s break it down :
1.) Flew into the San Diego airport
2.) Took a Lyft to @grandhyattsandiego which is super close by
3.) Walked right downstairs for dinner @seaport_village 
4.) The next morning you walk downstairs to a special table in the lobby to check in with DCL, show your passport, be extra luggage tags etc.
5.) Leave your luggage at the door of your hotel room. They will collect it and put it on the bus for you. 
6.) Meet downstairs at your designated time and board the bus
7.) Super short 5 min ride to the port on the Disney bus
8.) They handle your luggage, you just get on the ship! 🚢 

It was so nice having everyone nearby and coordinated for us! I highly recommend arriving a day before your cruise anyway if you are flying, and Disney made it seamless. 
Note that right now, the Grand Hyatt is the only San Diego area hotel that has the service of the Disney bus transportation to the port. 

Know what’s even more seamless? Having an agent from @bestdayevervacay plan all of this for you at no additional cost! Click the link in my bio and you can get a free, no obligation quote and start planning your magical vacation! 

Or, comment the word “cruise” below and I will send you the direct 🔗

We just set sail on the Disney Wonder for a magical 3 night west coast sailing! But the fun won’t stop when we disembark, we will be continuing the trip to Disneyland so don’t go anywhere! All the fun is happening right now in my stories! (And saved to a highlight if you miss some!)

A huge thanks to Disney and @bestdayevervacay for making this possible and sending us on this trip! ✨ 

Send to someone who “gets it!”

Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, eve Behind every beach day, every poolside moment, every bit of Disney magic, photoshoot, late night, and smiling photo, there are hours of work, rejection emails, a few missteps, and a lot of learning. 

Grateful for every single step of the journey, even the hard ones. ✨
