Sticking with something for a year always feels like an accomplishment. This month, I am celebrating the first birthday of this blog! It’s funny to look back to when I started it and see all the ways life has changed.
To read my first blog post, click here.
To be honest, I don’t really remember what I was originally going for in this blog. I think I wanted to create a newsletter for family and friends to keep up with us while we are overseas. I thought I might post every couple weeks to keep people updated. One year, ten thousand views, eighty WordPress followers, 140 Facebook followers, and 130 posts later, I guess I’m going in a slightly different direction. I’m still looking for my niche, but I think I’m almost there. This blog is for my friends and family, but it’s also for the traveler, the expat, the international student, and you.
I don’t have the sky-high stats that some blogs have, but I do hope that it makes a difference. I hope that those who read this blog think of it as something positive in their day. I hope that it’s interesting, inspirational, and encouraging. I hope you see the touch of Jesus in the things I write and the things I do.
Thanks for being a reader! It’s great to see that people take the time to click on my posts and read what I have to say. Thanks for the comments, the likes, and the shares. It’s the little gestures that keep me going.
This year, I’ve had a handful of posts that have been read, liked, and shared over and over again. Here are the links to my post popular posts:

I wonder where I’ll be in another year, and where this site will be? I’ll be on another continent, but I plan to still be typing away about all the things that life brings. What would you like to see from 3rd Culture Wife in the coming year? Let me know in the comments!
