Happy 1st Anniversary!

It was on this date one year ago that I launched anniespandex.com.

It was just an experiment at first, something to keep me busy. I had no idea what would come from it.
A lot has changed for me personally in this past year: my living space, my relationships, my goals, my haircolor ;) . Sometimes it feels like my life has been turned upside down, and while I don't feel like I have it together yet: I'm so happy. I'm living my life for me, and not for anyone else. I'm doing what I want to do.
Starting this blog is one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. It's been so much fun! I had no idea it would be this much fun. The best part has been getting to know you guys. Without you, this blog wouldn't be what it is. So...

Thank you!!!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Hearts galore,
Annie
