Two years ago today my blog was born. I had no idea then what I was getting into, how blogging would effect my life in so many ways. At that time I was recovering from my mastectomy surgery and had a lot of time on my hands. I had found a several blogs that Iliked and thought I would like to have a blog myself. I talked to my friend and neighbor Molly about her blog and finally got up the nerve to start my own. My blog helped me through a very tough time in my life. I made so many connections with people who were all routing for me and it also gave my family and friends a way to keep up with my cancer journey. My blog has changed a lot this year and I am really happy about the way it has transformed. Before I talked a lot about cancer, pain and anxiety. Now my blog is full of my photography and recipes.
The friendships I have made have been so wonderful and it is amazing to me what a supportive community we all have here out in the blogoshere.
Thank you to all my blog readers who come over to Spruce Hill to visit and see what's going on in my world.
I really enjoy and admire your blog. I wish I had the creative where-with-all to pull something like this off. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself (and your great recipes and pics)!

Happy Blog Anniversary, Sarah! It has been a real pleasure to watch how your blog has grown over the past year and a half — is that right? Is that when we met, about 18 months ago? The evolution your blog has taken truly reflects who you are, from where you started to where you'll end up :) And I really DO LOVE how you share your recipes. I'm half envious of your talents, your creativity.
Looking forward for the following years with your blog.

I echo all the above sentiments. I found your blog today, a snowy New York City Tuesday. Your writing, your pictures and yummy recipes inspire me. Thank you for sharing your heart with us, your readers and now your friends. God bless us all and have a wonderful day.

Happy 2nd blogaversary!
I am glad you started a blog, if you hadn't we would never have virtually met and become friends. :)
It is cool how your blog has helped you and others through a very difficult time in your life.
It is also very cool how it has now turned into somewhere you can use to share your photography and cookery. :)
