Oh. My. God. It’s finally here – the royal wedding of the century will commence early Friday morning, and the whole world is gearing up for the big day. I can’t tell you how excited I am. Seriously, can NOT tell you.

Since March 4, 2010, we’ve received more than 50,000 total views, and have been Freshly Pressed five times! I’m sure we’re not breaking any records here, but for something I created to be more like a personal notebook than anything else, I have to say those numbers are pretty cool. And, while I certainly can’t pick out a favorite post (come on! these are like my children), I can say that I’ve had fun writing each and every one of them (except Clips for Coach; those are all Denny).
