happy blog birthday

It's hard to believe that Little Paper Trees turned three earlier this month so in honor of my blogging journey I'm celebrating by taking a moment to reflect back on how far I've come since writing that first post. For me this space has and will always be an place where I can write and ramble to my hearts content. Over the years I've found that with age, my memory fades and the words and photos here bring back to life little moments that would have been otherwise forgotten. 

From birthdays to engagements, to the birth of my niece and death of my grandparents this blog had documented milestones (good and bad) and has been along for the adventures that Jimmy and I have experienced here in Australia. I hope it has helped to bridge the distance between myself and my friends and family far away by showing (often random) glimpses into our daily lives, travels and mundane routines. 

As I've mentioned before it has opened doors, brought new people and opportunities into my life and remains a constant outlet for my often confused and hurried attempts at creativity. It's an outlet for expression and the words and pages that have come before this post are a collection of memories I'm proud to call my own. Here's to the next three years...

*this is my cliche, in the bathroom "i'm a serious blogger' photo that I thought fit perfectly with this post.
