30 Day Blog Challenge--Day 1--Write a letter to yourself

Last November I wrote what I was thankful for every day of the month, and it helped me to make a better effort to get some posts on my blog. 

Since this year I only have what...two blog posts?...and it's over half way through the year, when I saw this blog challenge on a friend's blog I decided that it might be a way to do better at posting on my blog.  Here's the schedule:

Day 1: Write a letter to yourself. Answer it a year later.
Day 2: Share your favorite recipe.
Day 3: Write about some of the teachers you had growing up and why you did/did not like them.
Day 4: 10 things you can’t do anymore.
Day 5: Post an old picture and some commentary.
Day 6: Write 100 things about yourself.
Day 7: Write about the top search engine keywords that bring people to your blog.
Day 8: Write about all of the items in your junk drawer.
Day 9: Tell a joke.
Day 10: Top 10 websites you use.
Day 11: Top 10 products you use.
Day 12: Top 10 gadgets you use.
Day 13: Write about something you collect.
Day 14: Post 3 pictures of yourself that you normally would NOT share.
Day 15: Write about how lucky you are to be you.
Day 16: Write about each of the places you’ve called “home.”

Day 17: Write about how much you love something that you know no one else will love.
Day 18: Describe your childhood in sounds and smells.
Day 19: Write a poem.
Day 20: Make a list of random things you think about.
Day 21: Write about your favorite dessert.
Day 22: Write a review of a free software product you like.
Day 23: Write about your first trip abroad.
Day 24: Write about your most embarrassing moment.
Day 25: Write about your mother’s advice.
Day 26: What are you doing tonight?
Day 27: Something in the last 24 hours that made you happy.
Day 28: Write about that one time in band camp.
Day 29: Update old blog posts.
Day 30: Write about a day in the life of your pet

So, since it's day 1, I guess that means I need to write a letter to myself, to be answered in a year.  Excellent, I guess that means I'm guaranteed at least ONE blog post in 2013, right? 

Dear Libby,

As I write this, you've been in your new house for just over one month, and you LOVE it!  But now you've been there for a year, do you still love it?  What are some of the fun things that you've done in your house this past year?  Was it the family party house you hoped it would be?

And speaking of family, what's new with your family?  Are you excited to have Bradley come home soon?  How did Mel and John's first year of marriage go?  Can you believe you have another child graduated?  What are his plans for next year?  How did Jacob's year go, did he enjoy high school, and did he get his driver's license?

Do  you all feel settled in your new area?  What callings have you had and friends have you made? You've been so excited for this move/change in your life, was it everything you hoped it would be?  

Well, I guess that's all for now.  Tell me all about how your "new" life has been!  I'm anxious to hear!

Love,

Me
