This morning I realized I let the one year anniversary of this blog go by without any sort of mention. So a month late, I give you my State of the Blog address.

A lot has changed in the 13 months since I began my blog with this post.

When this blog began, I was married and looking for a way to fill my time while my husband was deployed to Iraq. Since then a lot has changed. My husband came home from Iraq, we filed for divorce and I’m now dating someone else. I’m still in the Army doing public affairs, but soon I’ll be moving off to Texas to do the same job there. I no longer have a cat or a plant (which didn’t survive the deployment).

The last year has been a tough and stressful one, but I’ve learned a lot and grown up a lot throughout it. At various times I’ve wondered if I could really make it through it all, but thanks to good friends and family, I’ve come out of the last year a better person in many different ways.

So Happy Birthday to gypsygentilli.com and lets hope the next year is far better than the last.
