2014 is done.
And so is this here blog.
I have been writing here (sporadically) for the last 7.5 years. That's a long go. I've enjoyed my time here, but it's time to say goodbye.
Blogging is no longer what it was when I first started. We used to comment on each other's blogs, make friends, encourage one another, and so on. It's not like that any more.
I blame Facebook.
Do people even read blogs anymore? I know I don't. And I don't think people read here anymore, either.
Again, I blame Facebook.
While I won't be writing here any longer, I'm leaving my blog up until I get it printed, they make books for bloggers! I have a lot of words written that I think one day my girls may want to read. (or maybe they won't.) I'm hoping by summer to have all 7.5 years bound. I'm looking forward to reading past words and hearts.
I'm so thankful for the friends I've made through this part of the internet. Some of the friends I've met through blogging I am now friends with on Facebook, through email, or through text. A handful I've met in person. You all have been so good to me. Thank you.
I do have a favorite thing from these 7.5 years.
And that's our friendship with Jim and Emily. Emily's blog was one of the first I read. (Jeana's and Liz's too) I'd say it was about a year after reading Emily's blog that I started commenting on it, then shortly after we decided our families needed to meet. Nearly six years later and we are family. My husband has a best friend in Jim, and I have one in Emily.
I'm getting a little (okay, a lot) choked up just thinking about them, their family, their friendship. They mean the world to us and I'm forever thankful to the internet that we've met them.
To those of you that have been here from the beginning, middle, and end. Thank you. Thank you for reading this girl's heart. There have been so many ups and downs and all arounds. Thank you for letting me share.
If you'd like to keep in touch, feel free to email me: truckfamily@gmail.com.
Love,
Sarah

I'm sorry you are leaving the blog world. I don't comment I know. I honestly don't take the time or feel I don't have any constructive to say. I will miss your blog, I identified with you and your life struggles and good stuff alike.
Aw, shucks! I loved your blog. Totally understand, though. I've basically done the same with mine.
Your book idea is awesome. Your girls will cherish it someday!
Cheers to 2015 and the changes it brings!
I have just loved your blog and I have read every post! Some more than once! I will truly miss your funny, smart, honest writing. I'm so glad we're friends on facebook or else I'd be REALLY mad! :-)
I will miss you from your blog. You always spoke of your wonderfully funny adventures and from your tender and honest brave heart.
Thank you for letting in on your life. I've learned so much from you.
Love ya!!!
hurt.
waiting.

I clicked just to see if it would still say, "talk to me, Goose."
It did. And that made me smile.
