Blogging? Really I'm blogging?

I have never had a desire to read blogs, nor have I ever had a desire to personally blog.  I admit, I think blogging is kind of lame.  Don't get me wrong, I love hearing about what is going on in my friends' lives, and I love sharing what is going on in my life.  I love posting pictures of my family, the holidays, birthdays, and any random thing I feel like taking pictures of.  I love sharing my accomplishments and even sharing when I'm feeling down. I guess you could call me a closet blogger.  Now I am coming out of the closet with my first real blog.

For a long while now, I have wanted to better at writing in a journal.  I want to keep track of those cute little things my kids say, keep track of events happening in our lives, but especially I just want to remember life.  For some reason, it never happens.  I picked up my journal the other day, my last entry was from Jan 2009.  So much has happened and changed in our family, that there is no way I could possibly remember all of it.

Here is where we begin, I can't go back and make things perfect, but I can start from here.  My life has had many ups and downs.  I have had happy times and sad times, stressful times and relaxing times.  Right now in my life, I would have to say, is wonderful!  I have the most wonderful husband, 4 beautiful children, some of the most amazing friends, and so many other people in my life.  Isn't that really what life is about?  The people in it.  Life would not be so wonderful if it weren't for the amazing people in it.
