Friends. Forever.

Lately I've been thinking of my blog friends. The ones who know me-but not in real life. {Which totally sucks. Because I heart each and every single one of you}.

How I love reading about everyone. What they're doing.

What makes you who you truly are and allowing total strangers into your life. It's completely fascinating. I love it. It's one thing that I can constantly look forward to that won't let me down.

There's something special about this bond of friends that I've created in the {2} wonderful years that I've been blogging.

When I first started this blog journey it was a way for my family to keep up with Isabella. How she's changing. What we're up to.

Then I discovered blogs. Other blogs.

Addictive blogs.

I remember just thinking to myself, wow.

This is amazing. Talking to other people. Interacting with other women.

Because being a brand new mommy in a brand new town? Was hard. I was lonely. I was told that I had PPD and PPAD. Which, if you don't know, means post postpartum depression and a postpartum anxiety disorder.

I was shocked. Ashamed. Embarrassed. I've always been a happy girl. But not during that time. It was the darkest time of my life--in which should have been the happiest time of my life.

So, you see, when I started reading and writing and interacting? It saved me. Saved my sanity. Saved me from going to an even darker place.

And for that, friends? Thank you.

Thank you for being faithful readers. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for the smiles. Thank you for writing your lives out for us to read. It truly is amazing.

I guess what I'm trying to say is when I say I love y'all and I puffy heart y'all...I do. I truly, truly do.

Because we are now friends.

Friends forever.
