I was telling Mom a little bit about this blog last night and tried to compare it to how I imagine a person with a painting hobby might get back into painting. I feel like I just cleaned out a little room in our house and set up an easel and bought a bunch of paints and brushes. It think because this is written stories of my life on the Internet there is some sort of expectation (and I have it too) that they'll be stories of an Important and Interesting Life. But I just want to write, and I don't write in a journal. I think a blog already is a very easy forum for me. It's very inviting and I know that it will be a wonderful account of Matt's and my life for us (and friends and family if we end up moving far away). But it also gives me a place to write, an excuse to write and I know that will give me the opportunity to use my brain in a different way. It's a win win.
