132 Posts and 1 Year Later

It's been a good year thus far. I've had my share of highs and lows, but today is the one year anniversary of this blog. I've certainly travelled a great distance since I first posted and began my foray into online dating.

I learned a lot of lessons, and this time, they actually stuck. That's mostly in thanks to a lot of friends who supported me, encouraged me and offered the benefits of their wisdom. It made the getting back up that much easier, and I learned that these rejections really are small falls and they don't hurt all that much.

Because of my friends, I've found a great gal (again), who doesn't werk (sic) at Dunkin Donuts and is close enough that we're actually able to work on a relationship and make it work. I certainly didn't think I'd be making actual real plans to live with someone else when I started this blog a year ago. I'm optimistic about our future together, but I also know that right now is just as important and the future will come in its own good time.

I've documented a lot of recipes and entertainment efforts. I've grown as a baker and cook, and look forward to further efforts. And while I don't blog about my work, being able to understand and document my personal failures and triumphs has allowed me to figure out what it is I want professionally and go after it.

Lets see how this next year turns out. I know I've a few recipes to post in the coming days.
