Reasons Why I Shouldn't Have a Blog...and Why I'm Gonna Have One Anyway

I'm baaaaaack. I haven't "blogged" since...like...forever. Over a year for sure. Basically, I had decided I wasn't going to do the whole blogging thing. Here's why:

1) I don't have any amazing recipes to share, or DIY sewing tutorials, or insightful book reviews, etc etc (I'm kinda talking about you, Beth Carroll)

2) I don't have tales from my super amazing, life-changing journey to Uganda, to adopt my super precious, Ugandan son (Krista Box)

3) I don't live in a different state than the rest of my family/friends, thereby NEEDING a blog to keep everyone posted on our family (ummm...April Lamb?)

4) I don't take have an awesome camera, that I take amazing pictures with, wowing everyone with how beautiful my family (and photography)skills are (I don't know who to mention here)

5) In my old age, I pretty much have started to suck at technology. I don't know how to do anything "cool" on my blog. I don't really know how to do some of the most basic things really. You should be so impressed that I was able to mention people above, and link you to their blogs. That being said, my blog is completely dull, and really, evidence to all who see it, that I am technology impaired.

Those are some pretty good reasons for not having a blog, right?? So why did I decide, against all reason, to keep it, AND begin updating it again?

1) It sounds fun, so why not?

2) It's a good way, if nothing else, for ME to keep track of our lives, and all the sweet memories we're making now, while Gunnar is still young. I feel like even if no one else EVER reads the blog, it still won't be a waste of my time or energy, because I'll have a virtual scrapbook of our life, and for my sentimental self, that matters A LOT.

I know blogs are boring without pictures, and lord knows, mine needs all the help it can get, so all future blog entries (or at least most) WILL have pictures!

Peace out!
