and so here i am

i'm one of those people who won't do something out of trend. other than clothes, that is. and even there i think i'm on a good line. i don't buy shoes that often and my haircut is pretty consitent. for all of you that got "the rachel" i did not follow down that path (though friends is my favorite show). so when a lot of my friends started this blog thing i immediately thought, "well, that will never be me." today i am eating my words. it all started with my friends, the Allums. i got hooked reading their updates on their family and adoption process. late at night, early in the morning before the girls got up...i read. then other friends had a baby and their blog link was sent to us via email...again...hooked. i've only seen that kid twice in person but i've tracked his growth through their blog. through both of their sites i've found friends i know...and i find myself wanting to keep in touch with all of these peoples lives that i don't get to talk to everyday. funny how that works.


my life is not very interesting but is full of surprises. i like to write, so this seems somewhat natural, almost therapeutic, for me. you'll hear about our kids, our marriage, and other peoples interaction with our family. don't be surprised if your name is mentioned....

as averys says (holding up three fingers like she's showing her age....)...."peace out"
