So, I guess the answer is: to blog. I have had a blog address for quite some time now, but I've been delaying the inevitable. Mostly because we don't have Internet at our apartment and I keep forgetting to bring pictures to work. The other reason is probably because I didn't really feel like I had anything of interest to share. I don't have any children and I didn't just get married, and those seem to be the reasons people start blogging. Then of course there is the issue of being so behind that you feel like there is no place to start. I wish I would have started blogging as soon as I got married and then I could have a journal of the past three wonderful years with my husband. But I didn't. And now I feel overwhelmed like I have to post about everything that has ever happened to me and I have no idea where to begin. I guess these are the exact same reasons that I don't write in my journal anymore. I get too busy, fall behind on entries, get overwhelmed, try to make up for lost time, and then decide to just forget about it. Who would want to read about me and my random stories/thoughts anyway?
The answer to that question made me start this post. I would give anything to have a journal or documented stories and writings from my Mom. She passed away 7 years ago this past February. And the only thing I have is a few pictures and my memories of her. I wish I could open up her journal or blog and read about her experiences and see who she was before she became my Mom. Seeing how we are related, I'm pretty sure she had the same overwhelmed feeling I did about journals and was just too busy for it (with eleven kids who could blame her? What's my excuse again?). That got me thinking. I am starting this blog so that I will have a record of the stories and small moments that make up my life right now. And who knows, maybe one day my children will want to read about who I was before they became my life. And the final reason that I started this post today is because lately I have become a blog stalker. I read everyone's blog I can find and search for more to read. So I thought I would share with all of you since you have been sharing your lives with me, possibly unbeknown to you. Here you go...this is the first of many. Welcome to the lives of Lexi and Casey Patterson: A Tall Tale. Enjoy.
