Meanwhile, Back In Peoria...

A Travel Blog In And Around The River City With Your Host, Marty Wombacher

December 12, 2015

Three Years Ago...

by MBIP


It’s hard to believe, but this week (December 10th) marked the third year anniversary of doing this blog! This is the longest time I’ve ever done a blog and out of all the different writing projects I’ve done through the years, this has become my favorite thing I’ve ever done. And if you’re reading these words, you’re the most important part of this MBIP thing I do. You’re the reader and I want to take this time to thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by and reading the blog!

I work really hard at this and it’s one of the most important things in my life. If I didn’t have an audience reading it on a daily basis, I wouldn’t have the drive and energy to keep doing it. I may be the automobile that keeps driving around and doing this, but you’re the gasoline that keeps the car running! So thanks so much for reading this, it means more to me than you know!

I thought for today’s anniversary post I’d put up some of my favorite MBIP blog posts from the last three years. These aren’t in chronological order, they’re just moments in time that are really special to me. I’ve met so many people while doing this blog and I’ve made so many friends it’s really mind-boggling. Thanks again for reading and being part of the MBIP blog community! Mucho love to all of you!
