Today is the Day

I have finally decided to get started with the online journaling. Several of my friends, (Jamie and Jensa) have been trying to get me to start one for a while. But the other night I was talking with my sister-in-law, Becca, who recently started a blog all because of a very sad story. She told me of a little girl in Park City Utah, who recently passed away. Her mother had started a blog before she was even born http://www.jacksonparkcity.blogspot.com, and I thought to myself, WOW !! What if something tragic were to happen in my family? Would I have a journal of all of the beautiful memories of my family to treasure, NO !! This really brought it home that life is short, and it has convinced me to stop with the excuses and take advantage of each and every moment I have with my family. Having a blog will provide me with just that, a lasting journal to archive all of the wonderful precious moments in the life of my children and family. It will also allow me to keep our family and friends up to date with all of the happens in our little family. I am not promising that my posts will be funny or interesting, but I hope that through this journal I will become a better mother, wife and friend, by taking more time to listen, live and learn all I can about my kids, my friends, my family, and myself each and every day. With that said, here goes !!
