The end of an era.

I suppose I could use this last blog post as a time to update you on all the new happenings in my dating life. While I can provide new little tidbits on a few of the previously discussed stories, the gist is the same: I'm still single. Rather than talk about that, I think it would be a better use of time (mine and yours) to talk about what the last two years have meant to me.

I know when Heth and I agreed to do this, we had some interesting feedback. We addressed some of those comments in our first few posts but let there be no mistake; the concern was in the minority. Masses of you sent texts, messages, and emails to us expressing support and suggestions. Thank you for that.

I have loved your involvement in this process every step of the way. You all have not only commented and expressed interest in what we have posted, but you've also reached out to us for better pictures, for more info, for the names behind the pseudonyms...and I must confess, it made this process so much more bearable.

In addition to expressing interest in our lives, you've also reached out for help in creating your own profiles, or for thoughts on which platforms might be a good fit for you, and I have relished feeling a part of your story, just as you have been a part of mine. As someone who spends a lot of time alone, you have helped that time not feel lonely...and I am inexplicably grateful.

As for what's next...I'm not sure. I think my life in general is in need of a little alignment and I'm not sure where dating will fall into that "new me." I've learned so much about myself - what I'm looking for, what I'm not over, what I see at the end - and the reality is that maybe none of this will turn out how I thought it would...and that's okay with me.

The purpose of this blog was to document this time in our lives and, hopefully, look back and smile when Heth and I are old ladies. I don't know how comical we'll find this in hindsight, but I do wish that we could also include all the love and support we've felt during this venture. Thank you for being a part of "the frog blog." I've loved having you here.

Hugs and frogs,
Holly
