Posts from 2009

I found this on a friend's blog. It was a great idea, so I thought I'd follow suit, but I changed things a bit. He chose the first post from each month; I wanted to put down what I thought was my favorite post, so here they are. Each has a link attached to the title if you want to read the entire post. Otherwise, the first sentence is listed below the title.

And so, I present the recap of The Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Nine, or A.D. MMIX:

"Just Taking a Look Around"
Do you ever have the feeling that you've had your head in a hole in the ground most of the time and every so often you lift your head up and realize that life is going on around you?

"Children--What a Blessing"
The year T was born, there were a whole bunch of boys born in our ward.


It's so fun to look back and reflect. So many things to work on and improve in 2010, but what a blessed year 2009 was!
