Here is a cute idea I got from Sandra at Diary of a SAHM, who got it from Kelli. Here's what they are doing.
"With the New Year right around the corner, this is the perfect time for a peek through the past year of blogging. I would love for you to join in with me!Post the first sentence of your first blog post of each month. You can also add a favorite picture from each month. "
I only started my blog in May, so I don't have a full year, but here goes!
~~~
May
"Alright people - I have been told many times that I have to start a blog, so I'm giving it a try."
This is a picture of our back yard, with the spring flowers blooming.~~~
June
"Well, it is official. I am getting old." (this is in regard to my youngest graduating)
Here are Andy and Bob goofing off instead of standing nicely for pictures.~~~
July
"Recently I saw a blog where the writer had a feature called "Everyday Wonderful".
This is a picture of a hummingbird moth I snapped in our backyard.~~~
August
"It's Thursday and that means it's time for a crock-pot recipe."
This is one of our wedding pictures that I posted on our 26th anniversary~~~
September

In September we were able to travel to South Carolina to see Andy graduate from basic training. This is a picture I posted of him when we were there.~~~
October
"One last post about vacation. Hope you aren't all sick of this!"
This is a picture of our flowering hydrangea tree, changing colors in the fall.~~
November
"Most of you know that Andy has been interested in planes and the Army from the time he was very young."

This is a picture I took when I stayed at a cottage in Traverse city with friends. This was the road that led to the cottage.~~~
December
"Red sky in morning, Sailor take warning.
Red sky at night, Sailors delight!
If that old saying is true, we are in trouble."
Here is the picture I just posted of all my kids in front of the Christmas tree.~~~
It's been fun looking back at all my posts. When I looked back over this period of time, I was reminded again how the lord has blessed me and guided me throughout my life and in this past year. I also realized while doing this, that this will be my 200th post. I have had such fun with this and met so many new friends. I wish you all God's blessings for the next year!

I did that last year - now I think I'll go do it for this year.
Great post Mari! Thanks for the encouragement with my blog too!
That's a fun idea! I might have to give it a try too. I liked reading yours!
Thank you, Mari, for being such an awesome prayer partner this past year! I have really felt your prayers and they have lifted me up when I needed them. I have enjoyed getting to know you better through your blog this year too and you're probably my inspiration for getting me started with one too! Have a great 2008!
What a wonderful year, exciting to think of what God has in store for 2008!
Blessings,
Sue
That's cool! It's kind of funny because I had this "great idea" the other day to make a post called "the year in review" and post "milestones" from this past year. So it's a little different than yours, but the same basic idea. I'm going back to bed now, but I'll have it up sometime this afternoon/evening :)
congrats on 200 posts! So glad you finally listened to me about starting a blog!
What a great year - I can't wait to see how the next one turns out!
Happy New Year!
Great idea! I think I'll do it too!
Hey it looks like we started blogging about the same time!
I have so enjoyed getting to know you...and look forward to more...
200th post! Wow---Congratulations.
That was fun to read. I cannot believe you've only been blogging since May.
Oh ... that's fun. I might have to do that too !
I love that! I think I started reading your blog around September or October, ao I enjoyed seeing some of your "old stuff"! Happy New Year to you!!!
What a great idea! I loved looking back over your year. I wish I could post my year too but I am just too tired! zzzzzz!
Oh, hope you don't mind, but I copied your wedding picture to keep in my blogger friend files. What a lovely bride and groom! I would like to see more of those pictures.
