I cannot let the day end without acknowledging that it's my anniversary. One year ago today my blog was born. Happy Birthday, Blog!
Just for fun, I thought I'd recap my past year, in no particular order:
I wrote 110 blogs.
I got put into a new ward.
I served in the stake Young Women for 16 units spreading into Oklahoma.
I made more money this year than ever before in this job.
I got out of debt, and have kept a tight rein on it.
I helped open a new store for the first time.
I finally got to see Phantom of the Opera on stage.
I worked quilt shows in Utah, Washington, Kansas and Texas.
I became a grandmother for the 9th time.
I got an iPod.
I did a handspring.
I went to a high school reunion for the first time.
I got my first X-Box so I could play DDR.
I learned I have high cholesterol, after being low all my life.
I got my first passport.
I took my first cruise, to places I've never been.
It was the first time my 8 children and their spouses but not their kids got together just for fun.
I went parasailing.
I went to Hawaii where I rode my first helicopter, catamaran, and kayak.
I had my first Christmas morning with no children at home.
I made some new blogging friends.
I reconnected with some very old friends.
Things I did NOT do:
Clean a single closet.
Empty a single box.
Find myself.
But I did a lot of fun things, had a lot of firsts, enjoyed my family, counted my blessings, and got to blog about some of it.
All in all, it was a very good year.

Happy Blogging Anniversary! Wow, 110 posts, not too shabby. (And to think you thought it was a waste of time in the beginning.)
You've had an amazing year with lots of great things, I hope this year is equally great!
what a great year! and I think you have done more to find yourself than you think- who cares about the closets?
Happy Anniversary!!
You had many firsts this year and you inspire me to continue reaching.
I love reading your comments you help put things into such a wonderful perspective, I love your sense of humor and your ability to live, love and laugh, qualities that none of us should lose. Thank you.
So so glad you got past the initial feelings that blogging was a selfish use of your time or that no one would care to read. I feel inspired every single time I visit! Happy anniversary!
Sounds like a great life! Congrats to you :)
