Blogiversary

It's been exactly one year since Miken convinced us to start a blog. I was skeptical. We had gone without the internet or a computer for 4.5 years, so I didn't think we would use this blog very much. But we have, and I'm glad. I've been reading some previous posts and there are so many things I had forgotten. It's a good thing they're written here, because this year I only managed three entries in my "real" journal (the one I got in third grade that has the lace and teddy bears on the front).

I noticed some interesting things as I read our first blog post from last year:

September Summation
It's only September, yet starting to cool,
Time for Nathan to go back to school.
Aubrey's at work, three days a week.
Our son learned to crawl, ''Way to go, Deac!''
We were set to move on Saturday the eighth,
We found that moving requires great faith.
We sold our home in less than three days,
But said, "Cross our fingers until the bank pays."
They finally did on September twenty,
Finally--our fingers were sure bruised plenty.
We were just settling in---a bit over a week,
When the Bishop dropped by and asked us to speak!
Nathan on preparedness, both in physical and spirit,
He had a great story, you should call him to hear it!
'Blessings of Conference' was Aubrey's topic,
Crowds make me wish that I was myopic.
Our month flew by, I'm sure yours did too!
Drop us a line, "What did you do?"

I noticed how some things have changed a lot in a year (Deacon's physical feats of strength Ü), and some things are still the same (Nathan starting back at school). And some things have *kinda* changed, but are really still the same:
