Hello everyone! I have been meaning to put an update here in the last little while, but time seems to have been extremely scarce. Thankfully some changes have occured in my life (break from school) which will allow me quite a few extra hours each week to get caught up on everything I've wanted to do. So I'm hoping to give a little more TLC to my blog.
I have felt quite depressed everytime I've visited our blog because of that "frustration" entry. This was only confirmed by one of my best friends, that she felt the same way. So it's about time that I add something new on. Sorry to everyone if my entry brought you down a little...
I've been in a "blog stall" mood lately. I just keep feeling that it needs "something." So I've played around with the template, and think I finally found one that I like. I've tried adding some Elements on the side, and can see the potential that will offer. I've been visiting some friends and relatives blog and have come to the conclusion that I'm not as creative as I thought. I wonder if there is a Blogger tutorial I can run through sometime? Maybe I just haven't played around with it enough to really reap the benefits. But anyways...I've also noticed I haven't been taking as many pictures or using my brand new camcorder for Christmas...as much as I should. So those are some things I want to work on.
Also, I've been battling internally on what my blog should be or represent. I've seen a lot of friends and family who use it as a "journal" for their kids. But when I started this, my vision was to keep friends and family informed of our lives and what we were experiencing. I'm also torn between keeping it a public blog or making it private. It seems recently quite a few people have made their blogs private. Having a private blog definitely has its benefits, and I would feel like I could be more open of whats really happening with us. So the battle continues...
Feel free to comment and share your thoughts and opinions about blogs. What was your purpose for starting one, and has that idea changed since you started? Do people really carry their cameras around that much to have pictures of almost everything that happens? For those people lurking our blog, feel free to leave us a comment so we know who you are! Love you all! Make it a grea day...

I started our blog to replace the monthly emails that I used to send out. There were just getting to be too many pictures at the end of the month to send in email form. I realized later that it could be used as a scrapbook/journal as well...AN ADDED BONUS! Doing something I enjoy, and following council from our church leaders! I actually take my camera with me just about everywhere...its always in our diaper bag or my purse...you never know when a "Kodak moment" will come up...that's my thought! Anyway...I always enjoy your blog! Keep it up! :)
I think I might go dark too (private) can't decide. You don't have to pick a theme. Be as random as you want:)
