Appearance wise outside, I haven't changed much other than adding a few wrinkles and taking off a few pounds. But I would hate to think I've gone through the entire last year without making some kind of progress. So here's how I've changed:
* I have one more grandchild - not that I had much to do with that, but it does give my heart one more baby to love.
* I have seen parts of the world I had never seen before (Dallas, Bahamas and Whistler, Canada) and revisited other favorite places (Yellowstone and Cedar City Shakespeare Festival).
* I set a whole bunch of crazy goals, some of which I'm actively working on, the others of which I'm allowing to hang over my head like a dark cloud.
* I've learned that I can donate blood and not pass out - that was a huge step for me.
* I survived several months of vertigo. It is still hanging around the fringes, but I've managed to push it away from center stage.
* I've started reading scriptures on a daily basis again, and am keeping a journal of my thoughts as I read them. My testimony has grown and I feel closer than ever to the Lord.
* I've had some dear friends pass away, including Clipsy, the cat I shared with Heather.
* I have walked over 100 miles in the past year.
* I planted over 100 bulbs in our front yard and am anxiously waiting for them to push through the soil and bloom the spring away.
* I've helped Brent install a new back door and complete the fireplace except for the finishing touches.
* I've helped a little with the moves of two of our children, both moves putting them closer to us!
* My relationship with my husband has grown stronger and we are closer than ever before.

Those are some great changes :). And you look great mom. Sorry I couldn't help with the picture like we planned, but I'm glad you got it. I may have to do this blog post on mine ;)
Tonya, thank you! And you've got a huge change from last year to this! That would be a great blog post for you. Go for it!
Tonya I think you need to do the whole 30 day challenge! It's been a lot of fun! Julie I'm amazed at all that you have done in one year. That's quite a list, actually though you have had 4 children move in the last year--2 closer and 2 further away although I'm sure you already know that. And the weight off is fabulous and the wrinkles are a part of us I guess.
Wow! What an accomplishment you've made in just one year! Not only in your fabulous new look, but in accomplishing those many worthwhile goals! Where do you find the time and energy for all you do?!! You really are an inspiration to us all!
that last anonymous comment was from your mom. I guess I still haven't mastered this monster!
