388 Posts Later, What Has Changed

One of the reasons I have learned to love blogging is the enjoyment I get in going back and reading what I have posted about.
It's interesting to see the various reasons I have blogged over the last 4-ish years.

When I first started, it was to let everyone see this "exciting" life that Reed and I led. Ha.
To communicate with and allow family members to see what we did.
I hadn't found my voice when I first started and I definitely didn't know how
to just express myself in a vulnerable way and let myself be okay with that.
And I didn't know how to be more of my silly self.

It seems as if by the time my parents went on their first mission and I had Aftyn, this blog became about my kids.  And I'm okay with that.

If I blogged more about myself, all you would ever hear about is: I can't lose weight, Reed's working,  I've lost so much weight, I'm pregnant and going to gain so much weight, I hope it's twins, my parents are going on a mission, my parents are back from their mission, my sister the photographer, my sister who taught me how to make applesauce, my sister the couponer, my oldest sister, my sister the writer, my brother who lives in the Caribbean, my sister in IF, my brother in Utah, my brother in Texas,  Reed's out of town, Reed's tired, I'm tired, we need a vacation.  Really, who wants to hear about ALL of that?  :)
    So, I guess, I'm writing this varied post to 1) let you know that I'm aiming to hit 400 posts by the end of the year.  I'm pretty sure I can do that, it's only about 12 more posts until the end of the year and I've got that in me.
                                                                AND
   
  2) To highlight a couple of my favorite posts from the first year or so of this blog.
                   My First Post ,    I'm Lonely ,   Funny New House Story

  There are a whole lot more, but I'm feeling lazy. Any favorite posts you'd care to mention?
