I must admit, I have definitely considered starting a blog before. Perhaps the fact that it is called a "blog" deterred me... blog, it's like yogurt - a very awkward, sad word. I have a lot of thoughts throughout the day and, as an English major, I naturally want to get them out of my brain and onto paper. Normally, I prefer pen and paper. There is something about the way my brain communicates to my hand with a pen in it - like a direct channel, the wires being touched together to ignite the electricity in a battery. However, I have to be realistic in the fact that as I have grown up in a generation blessed/cursed/burdened/enlightened by computers... I type much faster than I write. I'm sure this nifty little word processor date stamps, organizes, archives, and saves all of my thoughts along with allowing me to center, bullet, bold, and spell check - I think I can even insert a picture... wow.
My fiance and I had our first son, Carter, back in August. Our lives have been an absolute whirlwind in the past year and as we look back on things, I can't help but see them as a story or a book or just something worth writing down. Jeff and I, along with our family, friends, and just the world in general have been smacked across the face with 2009. I can't help but look on all of it as a comical mess - and I guess that is life.
