Around the Sun Turns Two

October 9th, 2008

I’m thrilled to announce that Around the Sun is two years old today.

I’ve heard people say that two years is a big accomplishment for a blog; not many blogs last this long. But honestly, I can’t believe it’s been two years already. I’ve had a blast.

Thanks to Around the Sun, I have done amazing things I never thought I’d do, met and corresponded with the coolest of people, and learned a ton of stuff about Portland. As a result, I’ve fallen deeper in love with this town.

Which leads me to the real reason I wanted to acknowledge this milestone, and that is to say thank you. Thank you to my supporters and readers. Around the Sun would not exist without you.

I hope I can help you save even more money in year three.

Here’s to spending less and living more. Cheers!

    Congratulations! I spread the word when I can and I think your site will get really hot in the next couple of months in this sour economy.
    Thanks for all of your hard work.

    Thank you for all your hard work. I moved here a few months ago not knowing many people and I haven’t had a lot of money but because of your efforts I feel like I’ve gotten the most out of Portland, truly. Keep up the good work.

    You rock. My family loves Portland too and we check in every weekend to see if there is anything fun we haven’t heard about. Thanks for the great resource.
