The main point of the blog was to record milestones and events in my first year of marriage. We had a wonderful and eventful year.
I have plans for a new blog. Check it out: http://knitcookread.blogspot.com/

Thoughts
Arrogance has always been something that really bothers me. It should bother everyone. I'm sure it does.
I have had to deal with arrogant people my whole life, but it took getting older to really notice it. I find it sad and disappointing, but what can I do.
I find that I encounter arrogance in both my professional and personal life, but lately I have had time to reflect on it.
I have had someone come up to me on a regular basis, and just talk at me. Not to me, but at me. Anything that I say is of no importance, but what he says is the most important thing ever. I guess, I just can't believe how someone can be so unabashedly self-centered. He will talk about anything and everything, and you can't get in a single word. Not that I really care to, since his topics of conversation are usually very boring.
How about things like Facebook? We all love Facebook, but I think it can be a real cop-out sometimes. I don't like that people check on you on Facebook, but don't make a effort to contact you otherwise. I am not talking about Facebook friends that you rarely see, but family and close friends.
How about when you email someone, but they never reply? They will send out impersonal emails to several people, but never answer your reply. Sounds like that is when it is time to get a blog!
I am sure some people may think that blogging isn't any better, but at least people choose to read it. Unlike email, where you are just having it all thrown in your face.
There are many reasons to blog. To keep family up to date on day to day activities, to remember special milestones in your life, etc. I think it is wonderful. You can share it with the rest of the world or keep it private. It is a great outlet to have and it gives people options as well.
In the midst of all of this "I, Me, Mine", I am trying to be more conscious of other people. I do not want to be labeled this way. Jon and I are out of the bride and groom spotlight. I have time to work on this now.
I have always tried to be conscious of it, but it is hard when you have so much going on in your own life.
Often, I will find myself realizing after I am with a friend or another person, maybe I should have asked, "What are your plans?" After they ask, me what are mine. Sometimes I forget.
