I swore I would never blog! "It's not me, I don't want everyone knowing my thoughts, who even cares?" These were reasons, among many others, why I thought I would never want to blog. But after taking the time to check out my friends blogs, a.k.a lurking, I realize there is so much more to this blogging thing! We live in such a fast-paced world where no one has time to sit down and have dinner with another couple without the conversation ultimately leading into "how busy" we are. Sometimes I feel like it's even a competition! Especially when I'm talking to my mom...it gets so aggravating. Anyway, I love that when I have some quiet time, I can sit at my computer and communicate with people. Don't get me wrong, I love being with other people and actually having live conversations, but 99% of the people I know and hang out with have kids! Who can have a conversation with kids running around? The only quiet time I have is either during nap time or late at night when everyone is asleep! So, I guess I'll try my hand at blogging. Hopefully I will get to know people better, find encouragement, and be an encouragement to others.
