Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 138: I'm speechless...


So we went to bed last night 17 votes ahead and woke up to find ourselves 27 votes ahead. Shortly after 2 pm, the Multnomah County Elections website updated with the result in the picture. As of now, our Parkrose School District bond measure is losing by ONE vote. It may not be all over yet - the results won't be certified until early June - but our kids have certainly learned that, truly, every vote counts.
