Our first blog.

The time has come!  After reading several blogs over the past year I decided I might as well 'join the bandwagon' and start blogging.  I am big on keeping journals (especially for the boys so they can look back and see all the milestones and events in their life they might otherwise not remember, me included).  So instead of buying another journal for our own keeping as Luke and I grow older (more so a journal of the things Luke and I do as a couple or as parents, etc.) I thought I'd start blogging! 

As I was attempting to figure out how to start a blog the electricity went out and our night became a little more chaotic until bedtime (to say the least!).  You realize VERY quickly how much we rely on electricity to do everything and how much you value candles, not just for their scent, but for their light.  I was silently thinking of 'Little House on the Prairie' and how they lived without electricity.....ohh yikes.  The thought of playing games by candlelight was enough to set me over the edge, but something that I was mentally getting prepared for....until the electricity came back on right as Luke walked in the door from his long day at work.  Thank you Lord!  Well now that I can get back to our blog....I best look over all of its features. For those of you who know my technology skills I'm sure it will be very blah for awhile, maybe for the whole blog experience!
