Happy Blogiversary to Me!
Wow, can you belive it? It's been a full year since I started writing about this stuff. Just one little year ago, when my husband was out of the country and I was going stir crazy and staying up way too late at night, I had the wild idea to write about what it's like to marry a Pakistani guy. I wrote the first SIX posts that night. Somehow, actual living, breathing readers found their way here too, and now it's almost like I have a whole community of people who know exactly what it's like in this little life of mine. I am so grateful, too, because it's really changed how I see my own life. It's been so much fun to write about this stuff, and to find other people who are writing about similar things. I am so excited about our upcoming trip, too, in part because I want to share all about it here! And in the future, I really hope to be better about this blogging business. I want to find more time to dedicate to this. I will, too, just stick with me for another year!

Yayyy congratulations! Inshallah you'll write for another year! :D
Congrats, and who would have thunk that in one year you would have an award winning blog, too! Congrats on your honorable mention in the brass crescent awards for best humor blog.
"it's almost like I have a whole community of people who know exactly what it's like in this little life of mine."
Just because we are online doesn't mean that we are "almost" a community, I think we are indeed a real community.
I, for one will be sticking around for another year!!!
Your blog is mashallah brilliant and I love it!! keep up the good work: and well done on your award, I was very proud of you but a bit sad that you didn’t win the crescent as I told every one in the world (well, every one in my world), to vote for you!
Insha Allah next year: you sure deserve it!
Happy blogiversary!
I am very glad I found your site - I had tried to search for you under your other name you used to comment on my blog. It is fun to read your memories here because they spur so many of my own. :-)
Congratulations - maybe one day we will see your writings published as a book as well (reading in bed is sooo cozy...)- you really have gift of writing :)
Gori Wife I found your blog through the awards you've been nominated for and I've had the best few days reading your entries!
I REALLY hope you win Inshallah because you're funny, honest and pretty much fantastic!
I second LuckyFatima's comments! Congrats and here is to more fun writing in the year to come! :)
YAY congrats on your blogiversary I'm happy for you an enjoy reading your blog.
Congrats! I love reading your blog, keep it up and can't wait to read your posts for your upcoming trip! We'll be there in Feb.-March, but I only get to go if M thinks its safe. So maybe if, insha'Allah you have a good trip, I can show him the posts and convince him its ok for me to go!
Congratulations Gori Wife! I've enjoyed reading and would like it very much if you continued blogging for us another year inshaAllah.
Thank you very much for the insight on Pakistani culture. It was needed very much for us obscure random non-pakistanis considering marrying a pakistani :)
love,
