This is my last post. I have mixed feelings about closing. Focusing on what I love about being married has made me a happier person and wife. I’ve enjoyed the family and dialog of marriage bloggers. I set out to write a finite blog: 365 things I love about marriage. Now finding myself at the end I’m sticking to the plan.
I asked my husband what I should do for the last post and he suggested sharing some of the things I learned. As usual, he is a smart man. 🙂
THINGS I LEARNED
1. Marriage is truly wonderful.
2. I really love my husband.
3. It’s hard to say goodbye.
4. I like blogging.
5. It sometimes takes 2 years to do a 365 blog!
6. I’m thankful for all your comments and support.
7. It feels good to keep a commitment whether it is marriage or blogging.
8. Lots of folks love marriage like I do.
9. Blogs take a lot of time.
THINGS MY HUSBAND LEARNED
1. He should keep his mouth shut.
2. Things he says will end up on my blog and he won’t get any credit for it. 🙂

Congratulations on making your goal. I admire your willingness to end this blog because it was your goal from the outset. It’s important to know when to do something and even more important to know when to stop doing something you love. That takes a mature trust in God. Thank you for your example!
Blessings to you and your husband!

Thank you so much! Yes, there is a time for everything. I am really trying to follow God’s direction not my own. Blessings to you and yours as well.
Thank you. This blog was a great blessing for me. 🙂
You are welcome. I’m happy to hear the blog was a blessing to you!
Kudos Karyl! When one door closes another one opens and I am sure you will find new inspiration to celebrate your wedded bliss. All the best!
What a sweet message. Thank you!
will miss your marriage blogs, but I’ll keep in touch.
Thanks!
You are not the only one who learned from your blog. Thanks for sharing. The blog will sorley be missed but the lessons will always be in my heart. It was fun not knowing what to expect each day. Sometimes I laughed so hard, sometimes I was sad but mostly I grew as a woman, wife and friend. Not to say i am perfect far from it but at least I know i’m not alone.
God speed.
Looking forward to following you on Bunny rabbits and butterflies or vice versa. Ta Ta my good friend.
Thanks Luisa!
ps I love Nat King Cole. Great ending choice. He was the epitomy of LOVE.
Glad you liked it!
Better late than never I guess: As it is duly appropriate, since the Liebster Award is about love, I am presenting it to you as a farewell present. http://parentingisfunny.wordpress.com/2012/06/01/liebster-award/
That’s very sweet. Thanks!

Congratulations!!!
Thanks! You will reach 365 one day too! 🙂
By the way, I am making my blog into a book and you may want to as well. There are a few companies that do this.
Hey Karyl…this has been an awesome blog, one I always loved to drop in for more and to a great extent it made my realisation stronger stronger that yes I share so many common reasons to be in love with being married to MY MAN 😉
God Bless you guys…will see you at ur new blog 🙂
Hi! Thank you so much. I’m glad you liked it. It feels weird to be done. I had a great time writing it! I hope you will keep in touch at Butterflies! May God continue to bless you and your husband too!
I guess I found you at the end of your goal but great job! I love #5 of things you learned…it may take 2 years to do 365 blogs 🙂 I definitely don’t blog every day. It would take me at least 3! So you did well 🙂
A few people are finding me at the end. That’s ok. A few times I’ve discovered a blog only to find it was over. Luckily I have two other blogs: Butterflies and Bunny Rabbits and my latest that I started today: Frosted Cookie. I hope you’ll check those out too.
My brother loves beer! 🙂
That is great! You must love blogging 🙂 I wish I had more time for it 😦 But the time I do get to spend on it, is fun! I will definitely be checking out your other blogs!
It’s sad to hear that this will be your last post on this blog, but you finished what you set out to do, so congrats! 😀
Thank you for sharing your positive, often funny thoughts about marriage. Your blog was a good refreshing read on marriage for me, and I’m sure for countless other married couples out there. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words. I have such fond memories of writing that blog. It was really fun. I am working on making it into a book but it’s taking a while. 🙂
This is a great blog and you have amassed a good following. I hope you start up with a new blog if you like to blog that much. Its a good outlet and great for the people that follow you through it all.
Thank you so much! I am working on making a short book out of the blog. Stay tuned! 🙂
