A Perfectly-Timed Third Blogiversary


Before I say anything else on this bittersweet Thursday, I want to thank Gillian, Selena, and Taylor for sharing their stories of expatriation with us earlier this week while I've been in London and Suffolk.  It's so much fun to make connections throughout the world and I'm delighted to facilitate that, especially since it's a nod to the roots of Betsy Transatlantically as an expat, rather than lifestyle, blog.

And on that note, in a perfect coincidence of timing as I fly back to DC from England and as I try to catch up on all the blog activity I've missed recently around the internets, it's my third blogiversary!  The very first post here was published on April 12, 2010 - it feels like ages have passed since then and, at the same time, like it was yesterday.  I'm sometimes startled by how Betsy Transatlantically has evolved over the last three years but I love how organic the whole thing has seemed even when I've been frustrated or challenged; experimenting with my voice and developing relationships with other bloggers has been so comforting during all the changes we've shared since spring 2010.

We'll be back to normal programming tomorrow with a classic Frock Friday post (reminiscent of this one from last year, actually) and then we'll catch up on details of my trip next Monday and Tuesday and for a few Wedding Wednesdays in May.  Shockingly enough, I don't yet have my editorial calendar finalized for next month, so the possibilities are endless!  Can't wait to have you all along for the ride, dear readers, and thank you for coming this far with me.
