congrats on the blogiversary!
my last 4 years have looked a lot like yours: i’ve gotten married, done lots of running and racing, and had a baby boy. oh yeah, and i started a blog, too 🙂

The last 4years have been quite the ride from getting married to moving around several different states. Besides being married to my best friend ofcourse one of the best things has been finally finding my passion for life and being blessed to turn it into a career. I love my job and am happy with life!

I’m proud of my relationship with my boyfriend–or my better 3/4ths (not a joke) as I call him.

Let’s see: Lost 68 pounds 2 years ago (my hub lost 90!) and we have been on the maintenance journey ever since. Discovered I love to run half marathons, so I have done two halfs and a 25K. Two more half marathons on the fall schedule. Hubby is a dedicated cyclist now. Got my motorcycle endorsement! Started singing in my husband’s band. Full time job has changed a lot in the last 3 years (we were acquired, several job changes). I am a busy, happy woman. Life is good!

Wahoo! Congrats on an amazing 4 years! I think I’ve been reading for 3 or 3.5 years. Whenever it was that you reviewed the 30 day shred 🙂

The most incredible thing that’s happened to me was getting pregnant and delivering my baby boy in October 2010. My home birth went exactly as planned and it was the most amazing experience to bring him into the world after being told we’d never have children. We tried for nearly 4 years and were pleasantly surprised with the news that we conceived naturally! Such a blessing.

I’ve taken control of my life and went from couch potato to triathlete.

Just in the past year: bought a house, married the love of my life 11/27/11, which she is now 11 weeks pregnant, ran two half marathons (one with my wife), did my first sprint tri, got a new job doing what i love; teaching elementary PE, wife got a new job as an events specialist manager. Luckiest guy in the world!

Congratulations on your journey. The best thing that has happened to me was the birth of our beautiful daughter in January.

Your last 4 years sound a bit like mine! Ran a marathon, Quit my job, moved half way across the country, got married, ran 2 1/2 marathons, had a baby, moved back halfway across the country…whew! I think it is a tie between getting married and having a baby for the greatest moment though!
This would be an amazing thing for me to win, as money is tight and I would love nothing more than to run the Race for the Cure in honor of my mom!

I got married last September! It was definitely the best day of my life!!!

Oh boy! So many wonderful things have happened to me in the past 4 years…I graduated with both my undergraduate & masters degree, I met my boyfriend, I quit a job I hated, I’ve gotten more into fitness (especially yoga), and the list goes on… 🙂

You have had an amazing journey!

Love the smiley Henry picture.

My two wonderful things in the past four years have been the birth of my amazing daughters, one in 2010 and one this past April!!

After many years of questioning & saving I was accepted into grad school & start in a week! Scary, excitingn, & a new challenge! Hard work does pay off!!

Holy cow. What a fantastic list of accomplishments! If I can accomplish 1/8th of what you have in the past four years I’ll be impressed. I’m so happy for you! You truly inspire me.

Feels good to look back at all you’ve accomplished, right? So happy for you and for all of the other commenters who have listed some pretty fabulous accomplishments!

In the past 4 years, I have lived in 3 different states, graduated from college, became a registered dietitian, finished my master’s, and found my dream job 🙂 Life is good!

Congrats on the 4 years… that’s a lot of life that happened over that time!

For me, the top two are getting my doctorate and getting engaged (I’m sure the marriage part will be great too, but that hasn’t happened yet).

Man – the last four years. I went to college, graduated, actually figured out what I wanted to do…I’ve changed so much. I hope my blog does what yours has in the next four years!

In the last four years, I began to figure out who I really was, and began to set goals for myself (triathlon as soon as my knee gets better!).

The last two years have been the biggest yet! Engagement, wedding, bought our first house, and pregnant with our first child!! Looking forward to what the years ahead have in store 🙂

Wow 4 years has gone by fast!

I ran my first 10k 2 years ago and after getting pregnant and having a baby (best part of my last 4 years!) I am anxious to run one again in a couple of weeks!!

Here’s to another 4 years 🙂

Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Your blog is an inspiration for me.

During the last four years I decided to change my career from finance to food policy and got the education (master’s degree) I needed to be able to make the change.

Wow, just like you, the past four year have been a whirlwind for me too. I graduated from college, moved to Chicago, landed a job in finance, started running, lost 125 pounds, got sober, trained for a marathon, hurt my back three weeks before the marathon but cheered anyway, met some of my very best friends, mourned the loss of my grandmother, and everything in between. Four years doesn’t seem like that long but it’s amazing how much can change. Thanks for the nudge down memory lane!

In the past 4 years, I’ve graduated from college, ran 2 half marathons and am currently training for my first marathon! Happy Blogiversary!

In four years, I’ve married the love of my life, had baby Roman, AND I left I job I hated for a job I love! 🙂

One of the best things that has happened to me within the last 4 years is being accepted into Medical School and actually carrying out my dream of becoming a doctor. Helping others fight against their illness, providing knowledge, and being there for them has been a very rewarding experience! 🙂

Congratulations! I think that the best thing that has happened to me in the last four years, was getting married! I couldn’t imagine life without my best friend and partner.

Congrats!

In the last four years, I’ve transitioned from a nervous, broke college student to a fairly well-adjusted, financially stable person in the “real world.” Whoo!

The best thing that’s happened to me in the last four years? I married my best friend. 🙂

Congrats on four years, Caitlin. I love your blog and wish you nothing but the best!

In the last four years, I’ve studied abroad in Barcelona, graduated from UC Berkeley, lived abroad in Madrid, and got a year of law school under my belt, and have run a few half-marathons. I think, though, the thing that made me the most happy out of all of that was traveling and discovering how much I love Spain!

Congrats on 4 years! Love your blog 🙂

Happy blogaversary!

It may not sound like a wonderful thing, but a little over two years ago I got laid off from a job I hated and it completely changed my life for the better!

I’ve been reading since See Bride Run- I think I even remember when it first started cause you use to comment often on Kath’s blog….why I remember that I do not know.

Thanks for sharing your adventures over the past 4 years- it’s always interesting to read!

Something I’ve done in the past 4 years is I graduated University and have almost completed my CA (which is the Canadian equivalent of CPA).

I got engaged almost two and a half years ago and I’ll be marrying my best friend in less than two months. 🙂

I got accepted into a great college and started to break out of my shell!

I’ve been pretty sick for many years but this year I’ve finally found a treatment that works and I’m finally beginning to heal. I couldn’t be happier 🙂

I’ve just become such a happier person – your book “operation beautiful” really just put a smile on my face and i tell everyone about it. It is just truely amazing how when you appreciate yourself for YOU, how much happier you are. Thank you for writing that book and encouraging me on the bad days 🙂

4 years? That’s terrific! Congrats on the successful blog!

I just graduated with my Master’s degree, I’ve written a play and am working towards getting it published (but it was already produced so it was a bunch of fun to watch!) Along with the “Healthy Tipping Point” mentality, I’m doing small things every day to live a happier life (in addition to healthier) and one I can be more proud of.

Caitlin, on an unrelated note: when you made the fix for Internet Explorer earlier this week, I think it may have broken your RSS feeds… My IE RSS feed hasn’t (and won’t) update since Monday morning and I keep getting an error when I try to set up a new RSS feed with Firefox… Just wanted to let you know.

Busy girl! Congratulations and I can’t wait to see what you do next! I thought I’d had a busy few years- cross-country move, bought house, new job, engaged, married, had baby # 1, and baby #2 due in a few weeks. You’ve got me trumped, though. Haha!

Congratulations on 4 years! That is awesome!

Within the past 4 years, my life goals of becoming a pediatrician via the medical route changed to a more holistic approach of health – chiropractic. And with this, I can still work with people of all ages, including kids! I now truly believe in a non-invasive, holistic side of health care and I’m so excited to start my graduate program in the fall to pursue this dream! To think that four years ago, I didn’t know anything about this field is mind boggling.

Have a great day Caitlin! Happy 4 years!

Wow – Happy 4th! You’ve done so much, and have so much to be proud of!

Two years ago I threw down with my family, and insisted that I start taking the time I needed to take care of myself; mentally, physically and spiritually. I was so drained and just wasn’t the best me I could be, and finally having the courage, grace and strength to insisit that I was worth more than shuffeling through life was huge. HUGE. I still stumble every once in a while, but the majority of the time, I get it right.

Happy 4 years!! We had a baby 3 months ago and that has been the absolute best thing that has happened in the last 4 years, by far. What a fun giveaway!

In the past four years, so many wonderful things have happened. Possibly the most wonderful is I learned to listen to myself and what I want, and truly take action to go after whatever it is. This lesson wasn’t easy and I’m still learning more every day!

My 2 kids were born in 2010 and 2011. My marathon PR was in the fall of 2008, so I guess that just makes it in the 4 years! Have not run a marathon since since I have been too busy trying to get pregnant, baby baking, and now child raising. Hopefully I can get one in before it has been 5 years…

Happy blogiversary Caitlin! So many wonderful things that’ve happened in these last 4 years for you!

Something wonderful that’s happened to me in the last 4 years is that I’ve found my dream career, gone back to school to be able to pursue it, and found out that not only will I be able to do the job, I’m gonna be good at it!

My husband and I bought a house!! 🙂

I can see you and your Hub in Henry! So pressshhh!

The best thing that has happened to me in the last four years would definitely be getting married to the love of my life! 🙂 Running my first and second marathon last year is a close second! 🙂

The most wonderful thing that happened to me (just last month) was my boyfriend proposing to me. So excited that I get to marry him. 🙂

After first reading this post I realized that the past 4 years have been surprisingly calm for me- I’ve been working at the same job, living in the same city (but in 3 different apartments, oh the life of a renter!), etc.- and I’m honestly quite content with that. After a pretty crazy first 23 years of life, 4 easy ones are much appreciated.

But back to the question- the best thing to happen in the past four years was meeting the boyfriend! We’ve been together for over 3 years now and have lived in two places to together already and it has been nothing short of amazing.

hmmm haha nothing huge has happened to me in the last 4 years, other than graduating college and going to law school! Moving to Chicago has been a really great experience (haha although I do miss Charleston and all my friends!).

I got married this year and have really learned what a blast it is—so much fun!

I’ve lived in Ohio all of my life, but just recently accepted a teaching position in NC and will be moving there in one week! Ahh! I’ve actually been looking at upcoming races in the area to get back into my running groove!

Best thing to happen in the past four years is I met my wonderful fiance!

You INSPIRE me, and have been for the past two years. Thank you, and congratulations.

The best thing to happen in the past four years is happening to me right now. I am a recent post-grad who moved to a rural area to teach with a prestigious program. I struggled all year, recently went through a break up with my boyfriend, started my new blog, and am finding balance and what it means for me to be happy in my twenties.

In the past 4 years…I finally found the most amazing roommate [after a few horror story-types]! And…I graduated college, but really, the latter was simple compared to finding a BFF who I love living with!

I graduated college, started a new job, got married and just this week bought a puppy! Puppies are a lot of work!! Between getting up twice during the night for potty breaks and waking up at 530 for the day I have an all new respect for all the mommies out there!! I guess its good practice for a REAL baby 🙂

Holy cow, you HAVE done a lot in 4 years. I’ve said it before, but you’re seriously superwoman! Happy Blogiversary 🙂

The best thing that has happened to me is the birth of my daughter, Kate. She is 5 months old today and thank God everyday that I am her mom!

The best thing that has happened to me in the past 4 years was having my daughter and another son, who joined their big brother….now focusing on staying strong and healthy to keep with with this active trio! 🙂

Congratulations on four years – you’ve accomplished so much! As of tomorrow I will have been blogging for a grand total of one month, so four years seems like an eternity for me!

You should be so so proud of everything you’ve done in those four years Caitlin!

Congrats on all your accomplishments! I love reading your blog. In the past 4 years (well, 3 actually) I’ve become a runner and finished 17 races.. including my first marathon!

You are awesome! I’ve been reading for a couple of months now, one day I might make my own blog as well, but at the moment I’m happy to be a reader and sometimes-commenter.

The best thing that’s happened to me in the past four years is graduating uni! It seems silly, but now that I’m working I feel like I can really work for the things that I want (like saving money for my trip to India at the end of the year, or working towards my dream job, etc) whereas at uni – as much as I enjoyed the freedom, and the partying – it always felt like I was waiting for my life to start!

I had my sweet baby girl Amelia on 11/17/11! Best (and hardest…went into labor at 10:45 the night before and she wasn’t born until 9:07 PM) day of my life! Congrats on 4 years and a beautiful baby! He is really starting to look like his daddy!

Well, congratulations on the last four years!! I’ve been reading for about 3 of them 🙂

In the last four years I have:
1) Graduated with my BS in Communication
2) met an amazing man
3) Moved out for the very first time on my own!
4) Graduated from an ABA-certified paralegal program
5) took a large pay-cut from my college job to pursue my dream of being a paralegal
6) moved in with said amazing man
7) made amazing friends
8) said yes when the same amazing man proposed to me in May of this year
9) and now I/We are planning our wedding for March, 2013

Overall, I’d say the last four years have been pretty AWESOME!!

I had 2 baby girls! One in September of 2010 and an almost 8 week old born on June 9. A 5k would be so great for me since I’m looking to get back in shape and having some “me time”!

Something wonderful? I met my husband 4 years ago and we got married last September!

In the last four years I have quit my job in ad sales, started and finished a masters degree in education and became a teacher!

After a long struggle with infertility I finally gave birth to my beautiful twins who are almost 1!!

Finished graduate school.

I ran a sub 2:00 half!

I moved to California and started grad school to pursue my dream of educating young adults going to a higher education!

Congrats on 4 years!! Something wonderful that’s happened to me in the last 4 years is I started my very own blog after wanting to and chickening out for months and months on end!

It’s so hard to pick one moment. But I will go with finishing my first 5K race and every other one I have completed since!

Caitlin, thank you for your dedication to HTP! It has been an incredible motivator for me and you are a wonderful role model 🙂

One amazing thing that has happened in the past four years has been getting to spend a month in India doing yoga and learning about organic farming. I don’t even mind that I’m completely broke now!

Good luck with year 5!

Happy Bloggiversary, Caitlin!

In the past four years, the most wonderful thing that has happened to me is I found someone with whom I want to spend the rest of my life, and have experienced true love. We will be getting married November. 🙂

Let’s see. Married my husband (we’ve been married for three years, together for 6), gotten the best golden retriever we could have asked for, joined my local Search and Rescue team (what a wonderful thing to be a part of! Such a privilege!), graduated with my BA in English, entered nursing school (and about to finish in December), made so many wonderful new friends and renewed friendships with old…

I’ve got so many blessings in my life! I am so thankful!

I can’t believe I have been reading for FOUR years! Congratulations! So much has happened in the last four years, but buying my first house and getting engaged top my list 🙂

The birth of my first grandchild, Mason.

Love your blog Caitlin. Best wishes always.

I found my motivation, which sounds so small and simple but this alone has completely changed my life. It no longer feels like excrutiating work to get my butt off of the couch and away from the television in order to go out and experience life. And for this, I am so very grateful 🙂

Congratulations to you on the last four years, that’s quite a lot of accomplishments to be proud of!

Celebrated my 5th wedding anniversary, opened up a chiropractic office with my husband, ran a marathon, witnessed the birth of one of my nieces… those are some of the highlights 🙂

awww i love your blog more and more all the time! something wonderful that’s happened to me is moving across country for college which has allowed me to develop some amazing friendships and spend more time with my extended family

that onesie looks so cute on him!
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY <3
it's going to be a hard year to beat (for both of us!) but may this next year be just as amazing and happy for you

In the last 4 years I graduated college, got married, moved across the country, worked 3 grown-up jobs (with teen moms, at a children’s ministry, and mental health center), moved again, gained weight, ran two half marathons, lost weight, moved again! It’s been a wild 4 years!

Congratulations! I have been a reader for about 3 years now! Love every day reading.

The past 4 years I have graduated college, found the perfect fitting job for me, moved to Chapel Hill, NC, and gotten engaged. My how time flies!

I became a doctor (and am finishing up my residency in a year). it has been like running a marathon…long and sometimes painful, but worth it in the end!

Got into college! Now I’m going to be a junior (scary!).

I started college and will soon be finishing, yay. Now onto the job bunt, yikes.

I started college and am a semester away from graduating with my dream major.

Awesome giveaway 🙂

Happy Blogiversary! What a fabulous few years you’ve had.

The past 5 years have been great in many respects, but the most noteable is having my two boys (now 6 and 4). Being a mother has been the single most amazing and rewarding accomplishment of my life. I’m not sure what would top it really!

I got pregnant (after a little over a year of fertility treatments) and delivered a healthy, adorable baby girl!!

After reading that, I am entirely jealous of your life! Congrats to you for such achievements, especially the new addition, Henry! That last 4 years of my life haven’t been exactly stellar, but that is what makes me so grateful for where I am now. The best part of the past 12 months was losing 65 lbs, getting healthy, starting to run, and feeling so much stronger! (PS Good to hear that you are able to marathons with your knee problems! I was starting to worry that I would never get past 4 miles!)

You have accomplished so much over the past four years—you should be so proud!

Caitlin:
It has been a true joy to follow along with you over the last couple of years. You have been quite an inspiration to me. Over the last year, we moved 1500 miles away from home and it has turned out to be the most wonderful adventure. We have found quality of life and have learned what is truly important. I have had the chance to “reinvent” myself and find out how strong I really am. Thankful for the opportunity!!
