My very first post! I don't know if this blogging thing is really for me or not - I guess I'll find out! So, why a blog? I have no real ambition to add insight or to encourage thought-provoking discussions to the interent world. I'm guessing there is plenty of that already! Rather, this blog is for me. Many times over the past *many* years I have attempted a paper journal - a record of my daily life and thoughts. Unfortunately, I have never really persevered. I'm hoping this attempt will be different - maybe typing is better than writing??? My only goal is that in a year (or two, five or ten) I can look at this blog and have a glimpse into what my life as a the wife of a wonderful man and the mom of three amazing children was like.
