My life has changed drastically moving from Texas to Wisconsin leaving both my mom, sister and husbands side of the family behind : ( I miss them all so much!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

That is hard! My sister did that this past year too. She moved to Georgia and then Connecticut. We miss her dearly too!

Happy blogiversary, Megan! Let’s see, this year I finally pulled my sewing machine out of the box and tried it out. I still have a long ways to go, but I would call that progress.

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

That is progress. I need to do that.

Wow What a give-a-way to celebrate how things have changed in the past year!

I’ve moved, changed jobs, one of my best friends is engaged, watched another be married and most importantly became an aunt again!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Wowsers! What a year you’ve had! Amazing how much has changed and how quickly it all went by!

Angela Hunt

Congrats on a year!!!!! Very excited for you!!! In the past year I became a stay at home mom!

I love reading your blog. I am now an empty nester – that changes so much!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Don’t even get me started. I’m sad about sending Quinn off to preschool. I’m glad you enjoy my blog. My mom took up running when she became an empty nester. Side effect: she’s one hot grandma

JJ

Let’s see in the last year I started a new job and my son finished preschool and so we enrolled him into kindergarten!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

A new job….that is exciting. Kindergarten! That is a big deal. I won’t judge if you are a blubbering mess on the first day

Happy Blogiversary! My life changed in a big way last year because I became a mother! Now, my daughter is getting close to her first birthday and I’m so excited to plan a celebration of her first year (and the fact that we survived!).

Wow, this past year has been a whirlwind… I got married, we purchased our first house, I graduated nursing school and began my second career as a nurse at one of the best hospitals.

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

That is a big year. Life changes so quickly.

Congratulations on your first year! This last year has been very big for me – I got engaged, moved across country, and got married. Now we are looking at moving again! So much fun in such a short time!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

That is a big year! Love that time with all the promise of the life you are starting together.

Ashley

We built a new house in the past year! It was crazy, stressful but totally worth it to have a home customized for us in the end!
Kim L.

In the last year, my son went to kindergarten and I returned to work… part-time since being a mom is still my #1 job. Our lives will be changing again next week when we get a new puppy. So excited!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

A puppy! Thats a big job. What are you getting? Was the little guy in school and you back at work a tad heartbreaking?

Emily Schiltz

In the past year, I have embraced music and crafts, and in doing so, found something I love, ultimately, finding myself. I’ve become an aunt and fallen in love with my beautiful nieces! They get spoiled by my DIY hair pins and headbands!

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Yay! What a fun year for you then. I too have started embracing those things and never felt more me.

Emily Schiltz

It’s good for the soul!

I started Supplemental Instruction this summer and was elected to the eboard of a cultural organization at school. Can my summer be busy and still uneventful? That’s what it feels like…

http://www.balancinghome.com Megan Bray

Congrats! There’s still time…
