SITS Girls Back2Blogging Day 1

Monday, September 13: Re-upload the first post you ever wrote on your blog. If interested, re-write that post, showing us a before and after look at the piece.

My first blog post was on April 28th, 2003. My sophomore year of college. I was so incredibly young.

So- I’m setting this up largely to make fun of dear friend Jen….and to put lots of little digs at secret things that only she and I (and most of the population of Macon) know about…hehehehe… long live us. The Queens of DT.

I don’t think I could really rewrite that initial post. It was an exploration. The first time I created an online presence.I was dipping a toe into the online pond, so to speak. I actually maintained that blog until halfway through the Soldier’s second deployment, after we were married. I switched because I got really tired of the xanga platform and it was very tied into a part of my life that I left behind when the Soldier and I became serious about each other. I needed a fresh start. So, I played with live journal, myspace, and wordpress. Eventually settling on blogger. My first blogger site was Wife Evolving.
When I wanted to get serious about my blogging, I created That Army Wife Life because I was struggling to really capture the desired mood/theme/something. It’s still a work in progress but I’m reasonably satisfied with where TAWL is right now. Although I’m working on a new header that I’m excited about.
