Well, I've been really reluctant to start an official blog. Many, many people have told me that I should blog, because I currently send a regular e-mail to friends and family that includes pictures and news about me and my family. It's basically a blog already, but just in e-mail form. I have always been nervous to blog because I just don't know if I want all that information about me (and especially my children) just "out there" in the blogosphere, where anyone can read it. I also know that I can make a blog private, but that's kind of a pain for readers to always log in for the privacy feature.
But then this week I decided to join Facebook and it has been so much fun catching up with old friends and reading the day-to-day activities of people I know and love. As I've connected with old friends I've discovered that many of them have blogs and I really have enjoyed reading them. So....I figured I'd give it a shot. I still have some misgivings about blogging (I don't know why!), but I guess I'll try it for a while and if I don't like it I can always go back to the more old-fashioned e-mail correspondence. (Hey-at least I'm not sitting down and writing out my letters longhand...I may be old-fashioned but I'm not THAT old-fashioned! :)
So that's it for my first blog entry. I'm going to play around with blogspot and see if I can bring in some of my older stuff (the e-mails and photos) before I write much new stuff. Or, I may wimp out and pull everything off completely! We'll just have to see.
