In this type of atmosphere a blog is definitely a good thing. You see, I figure if we jot down some thoughts and pictures on the stuff that happens, soon after it happens, we'll be able to look back and see more than just a big energized blur of Benjamin intensity. It's always good to give your experiences context, and a blog kind of forces you to do that. Plus everybody else can look at some pictures too.
So for our first post... Our Top Five Things We Would have Written About if We Had a Blog Sooner(chronologically ordered, and not necessarily in order of importance) .
1. Emma was born on January 11, 2007. She's even cuter now. We couldn't be more grateful to God for her.
2. I worked for Senator Benton in the WA Senate once again and was able to work with my brilliant, like-minded, lifelong friend Daniel Bittner who worked as our Session Aide for the second year in a row. We made a movie about the legislative process aptly entitled.... The Process. (I might post it sometime.)
3. After the legislative session ended we went to the beach. And then we went again. I don't think Benjamin slept the entire time.
4. Natalie started a Young Mom's Group where mom's and their children can get together to relax and share scriptures, experiences, tips, and food.
5. I took the California Bar Exam in July. Just found out I passed last week, Nov. 16th. God's confirmation of this path for our life came at a great time. It made for a pretty good Thanksgiving.
Stay Tuned! More exciting posts, videos, and pictures to come soon!
