Blog Crush

When Husband I were first hanging out and even when we first officially started dating I would get so excited when he’d text me. I was one of those annoying people who would constantly check my phone in a movie just to see if he’d sent me something. If I were hanging out with others a {large} portion of my attention was focused on my phone and if I was away from my phone for a while it was like Christmas to look at it and have a text from him! I, of course, still love hearing from him and I can be with him for 72 hours straight and still just want to hang out with him – but there is something different right at the beginning. A different giddiness and thrill at the possibility and potential of something special. Every time I’d get a call, text, date invite….really any interaction it was a validation that this other person - this handsome man - liked me, thought I was cool and worth his attention and time investment.

The beginning is so magical…and I realized the other day that I get the same thrill from blogging! I have a crush on blogging! Whenever I check my blog and I see that I have a new follower I am giddy and get the same feelings of acceptance! With every follower I feel happy/surprised/validated that another person likes me and wants to start a virtual friendship (which, by the way I have at least ten friends that I think about frequently that I only know via blogging – how special is that?!?). So thanks for following! Thanks for creating a beginning with me!
