To Blog or Not to Blog???

So, this has been a long time coming: my very first blog post ever! I've been wanting to start a blog for a while and actually registered for this account almost a year ago. I just haven't taken the time to do it and wondered (still wondering) if I'll really keep up with it.

What is a blog anyway? An online journal, I guess. Dictionary.com defines it as "an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a web page." There are several blogs that I love to read...some of them have useful information, some discuss interesting topics, and others inspire me. (I'll list my favorites soon.) I don't have a my space page like most of my other friends and didn't use face book in college. Online networking has never really been my thing, so blogging seems a little out of character for me. I'm a social person but a little introverted about details of my life.

However, I want to start a blog as a memory keeper of sorts. Scrap-booking is my favorite hobby, but it doesn't really capture everyday life for me. Most of my scrapbooks are of big events in our life, like traveling, holidays, our wedding, and baby's first year. My plan for this blog, is to post updates from our everyday life to keep friends and family updated, while also creating a keepsake for myself. Most of my family and a lot of my friends live away from me, so this will give them all a chance to check in on us. I also plan to post some random thoughts from time to time of things that I think are important or interesting. Please feel free to comment anytime. I will probably add a few posts before I even tell anyone that I've started a blog to make sure that I'm actually going to keep up with it.

Thanks for reading and God Bless! If you are reading this, tell me, why do you blog???
