When MinDog's mom(CrazyHeart), the writer, became our first follower/promoter/sole comment leaving reader/one woman pep squad encouraging us to keep going with our crazy blog I personally thought she would be our only follower forever. At first we told people via email and our facebook status updates that we had a blog in an attempt to make them followers. We quickly let go of that and just kept blogging for ourselves as we figured out why we were really doing this.
The only thing I/we knew for sure was that we had to commit to it and we did.
It's very easy to start a blog, to start anything really but to maintain and keep something(in this case our Shitty Fab blog) going, growing, changing evolving is another thing...
In the past few months we came up with new blogging goals and decided that we should once again tell people that we exist and introduce ourselves. What I'm getting at is this: WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO BE ON THE VERGE OF HAVING 100 FOLLOWERS. That is the whole point of this post.
*DEEP HAPPY SIGH*
We are still baby bloggers but we are here and this blog is becoming a reflection of us... of our growth of our journey.
Somewhere way back at the beginning we landed on the idea that this blog could/would document our living out front journey, this blog would be a testament to letting go of the crap and embracing the wonderful(at all times no matter how hard), this blog would be whatever we needed it to be at any given time and it would be honest and when we felt like not doing it anymore we would keep doing it anyway because it's too easy to give up.

CrazyHeart isn't the only one interested in our crazy! There are a few others and there will be more... What's exciting is knowing that every now and again our living out front helps someone else do the same; even better is knowing that we have made a few people laugh- out loud. There is nothing better than laughing out loud!

Because we are so excited we will have a special gift for our 100th follower and the first person who comments after we reach 100 followers... Trust me this gift is good. We do know a few skilled people in high places... It's good! So if you're aleady a follower send one or some or all of your friends to our blog and maybe you can split the gift/s...
Thank you so much for joining and following our journey!
