Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would become such an important part of my new life here. I don't think I would have made it through the first year without the support I have gained here in my virtual world.
A lot of people don't get blogging, and a lot of my friends don't ever read it that's fine too! But when they ask me what's new, I say read my blog! I appreciate all the wonderful people who read and follow me. I know it can be consuming and some people feel guilty for not always commenting or reading. I follow a lot of blogs but I have more time on my hands than most. Plus I'm avoiding doing my German Homework!
Blogging for me not to sound all mushy, but has been a lifesaver in many ways. I feel like I have many conversations with friends and am a part of something. I get to laugh, cry and smile at so many people's posts. I've gained recipes, decorating ideas, jokes, stories, information, history, facts, photography pointers and ideas. I've gained friendship, wisdom, patience, love, acceptance and prayer and so much more.
I want to thank each and everyone of you for making my life so rich! Now lets have some CAKE!
Much Love,
Frau

Awww, this is so sweet! I'm a half a year behind you, but I share your sense of enthusiasm for blogging. I look forward to what a year of blogging will bring.
Congratulations! You've done a great job building up a blog network, which is a terrific antidote for culture shock. More expats should blog.
Happy Blogiversary and many more!
Happy anniversary, Frau. I have certainly enjoyed being part of your blogging world. Thanks for all the laughs and eye candy. :) xoxo

It warms my heart knowing when I turn on my computer to see that I have a comment by you.

Congratulations and happy Blogiversary!
Happy B'day!
Well written and, I know, very sincere.
Love you.
Please call me. I am home for the next few hours...
Thank you for following our blogs. You have become a friend and each of us enjoy watching your journey unfold. We laugh and cry with you. I particularly remember the deodorant post....whew...I still think about that and chuckle. Despite your reason for blogging, you are making a difference in others lives. I am able to see Germany and other places through your eyes. THANK YOU!
Blessings, andrea
Congrats Frau!
The statistic shows most bloggers quit only after 6 months...
Enjoy your posts always darling!
ps: to answer your question,I use 'window photo gallery' prog on my pics, it's easy & free fm Microsoft.
xo as always dear friend!
Aww! How sweet is this! I couldn't agree with you more, blogging and interacting with everyone has been a lifesaver for me. Up until the blogging world opened its arms up to me, I was feeling like I was here alone raising my daughter while the rest of the world went to work at a "real" job.
Happy 1 year anniversary! I'm so happy to have found your blog and made such a wonderful connection. You are such a talented writer. This is one of m favorite places to stop by.
Awww you are so fun to follow. Happy 1 Year! I too started blogging to let my Jersey family know what is going on but most of them also don't read it. Ron's kids read but never comment and that is ok too. I agree with you that I have made some great friends in the land of Blogger, one of which, your sister, I was privileged to meet. When we met in person it was as though I knew her already, I felt so comfortable in her presence! I hope to meet some more of the blog buddies some day!!
It does take a bit of doing to stay current but it is so fun to learn new things and "meet" new friends. xoxox
Congrats on your one year blogiversary!! Thanks for stopping by!
You and I are new to each other, and I enjoy seeing and reading about Germany. Since I took a few German classes in high school and college, I've always had a interest. I enjoy your photo tours with some history background. It's nice having blogging friends in other countries.
Let's celebrate! Yay for your blogiversary, you've described blogging to a T!
Thanks for the cake.
Lovely! Happy Blogiversary!!
You definitely deserve some cake!
