Happy Blogiversary {to me!}

August 26, 2011

Today is the day! It’s been exactly one year since I started The Arizona Russums to document our life as newlyweds and to record our adventures after moving to the great southwest. I am so thankful for this blog. I love that it encourages and inspires so many people. I love getting text messages from my best friend back home about how much she loved my most recent post. I love that I have met new friends on this space {remember when it was über nerdy to have “online” friends???}. I’ve even met a couple girls from around AZ like Heather and Jordan that I would love to meet in person someday soon. I love that my whole grad school experience and future career got turned upside down and changed forever just by reading One in the SAHM, Hello Hines Family, and Fly Through Our Window. I love that my mom sometimes reads my blog in the morning before she feeds our dog. Poor guy! 🙂

But most of all, I love YOU for being my loyal readers and supporters of my blogging research. Thank you for trying my recipes, listening to me whine about yoga, and reading my thoughts on theology. It’s my JOY to write Flowers Fade Friday each week, and I hope you are blessed by it. I can’t wait to continue to this blogging adventure with you!
And don’t forget one faithful reader will win THIS to celebrate my blog’s anniversary…
{CUTEST JEWELRY RACK IN THE WORLD!!!}

Have YOU entered yet??? Head over to the GIVEAWAY page and leave a comment if you want to enter! I will be back to announce the winner this afternoon!

About Jen Russum

Hi. I’m Jen Russum and this blog is where I’ve been sharing narratives of God’s grace for more than a decade now. Some might say “blogs are dead” but I’m waiting for them to come back around like mom jeans and 90s flannel. I enjoy my coffee iced, my summers hot, and my dinner parties long with lots of laughter. I process all of life’s deepest, darkest, and happiest moments by writing essays in my head. When I have the time, some of these essays get typed up and shared here. I’ve always loved to write, and I hope my words bring you joy and encouragement.
