500.

Hello again! I had other plans for my post today--until I logged into blogger and realized this post was a bit of a benchmark. It's my 500th post! When I wrote my first post 638 days ago, I had zero clue that 

blogging would become such a big part of my life...

Along the way, you gave me the courage to share my experience with melanoma. You embraced your natural color when you signed the sun savvy pledge with Danielle and me--and finally got me to pick up a self tanner ;) You helped us weather the unexpected exit of our little Lucy last March. You celebrated with us when our wedding got some airtime on one of my favorite websites and in a beloved magazine. You pick me up via comments and twitter when I face challenging days. You've shared countless stories of long distance and created phenomenal outfits for Friday's Fancies week after week...and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I could share countless other examples of how you've affected my life in the last 20 months, but I think you'd get bored. Suffice it to say, you've allowed me overcome some major hurdles in my life and you've rejoiced alongside me in the highest of highs. For that, I say thank you.

My first post may have been a bit lackluster, but I'm so glad I kept with it to find all of you!

P.S. I'll see you at midnight for another round of Friday's Fancies! Remember: any + all fashion posts are welcome :)
