Contrary to popular belief...

<p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">HG and I did not get into a fight and decided to stop working together on I am Fashion and started our own blogs instead. (Even our mutual friends wondered about it!) We still email each other daily about the intricate details of our lives and random thoughts we have, and feel extremely empty when the other is away and has no access to the internet. When I freak out, she is the first person I call and she is still my maid of honor when I fantasize about my wedding. Our reasons for closing down <em><a href="http://iamfashion.blogspot.com/2009/02/on-final-note.html" mce_href="http://iamfashion.blogspot.com/2009/02/on-final-note.html">I am Fashion</a> </em>still stands, though I do think that my later rationalization of it in <a href="http://teawithbg.com/2009/02/01/lets-go-have-tea/" mce_href="http://teawithbg.com/2009/02/01/lets-go-have-tea/">this blog</a> is a better articulation of how we feel.</span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >As for us continuing to blog even more regularly than before, I attribute it to the "newness" of our blogs. Starting a new blog is like starting a relationship. At the beginning everything is new and exciting as you get to know the other person and watch your relationship grow and mature. Every up and every down is a significant moment. Then the honeymoon phase eventually wears off and you reach a happy medium, where your relationship becomes a part of your daily life. With any luck, you will live happily ever after in this state with a few surprises here and there to spice up the norm. If not, your relationship will wane and you grow apart, eventually deciding that you are both better off parting ways.</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ><br /></span><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Clearly I'm in the honeymoon phase. We are starting to explore new things together, trying to figure out what works best for the both of us. Every new post is an adventure. Every comment and email is exciting. I want to spend every moment of everyday with it, checking on its progress i.e. stalking the traffic, the incoming and outgoing links etc. It's an exhilarating feeling that I'd almost forgotten about!</span></p><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" >Analogy aside, it is heartwarming to read everyone's encouraging comments and to know that we were able to leave a small footprint on some people's lives. We appreciate your support and remember that we've not left the blogging world for good. Come visit us some time at our new blogs -(Find the links to our new blogs in the post below). We miss you guys!<br /></span>
