Over the years, since Blogger first sprung into existence, or at least since I've known about it, I've had several blogs. Some served the purpose of just getting general thoughts out, and were open to whomever should run across them, some were more private - only a few people knew where to find them, and some were just for me, to get my thoughts out.

I've been thinking lately that it's time for a new blog... for a new chapter in my life. Or, what sometimes feels like the FIRST chapter in my life. So here it is... our Family Blog. I've seen a lot of family blogs popping up here and there, and I think that's cool... you can get a glimpse into how things are going here for us... more than that quick 2 sentence Facebook status we put up every once in a while. Maybe, from time to time, my men may even choose to blog. They're both great writers themselves. The Honey has had a love for writing much longer than I have, and the Little Man has been bitten by the bug too, though his problem is the opposite of his Mama's... he has too many ideas and not enough time to get them all out before a new one occurs to him. Me? No ideas, and lots of time, lol. I don't have the creativity that either one of them does. The ability to just make up a story eludes me. The Honey has written some great stories. The Little Man has some excellent ideas. My brother writes fiction all the time. This is not something I've ever been able to do, though I envy them all the outlet. I love words. I always have. I can't make up the stories, but I can put my thoughts down to words. It's actually one of the first things the Honey ever said he admired about me, and that was one of the greatest compliments I think I've ever gotten. So that's where we are... I'm putting my thoughts down to this blog, and maybe you'll read it once in a while. That would make me happy.
