Blame American Idol

One of my professors always used to threaten me with the fact that I'd never stop learning. Even after college, he'd say, I would continue to strive for knowledge. I always laughed, but I knew he was right.

For me, this thirst for information comes not from wanting to know more, but to progress alongside the rest of the world and experience new and extreme situations. Because of this, I've often found myself in a plethora of random situations, from amateur drag shows, mixed martial arts fights and car shows to the Baptist State Convention, craft classes and Second Life (don't ask!).

I digress, let's get to the point of this... today I was fortunate enough to attend a Social Media Lunch & Learn, where we heard all about the multiple uses of blogs, wiki's, networks, communities and many other electronic outlets. I was LEARNING! :) Then it came to me like runners to a water stop: WE could blog!!

The purpose of this blog isn't the same as the notebook, though. The notebook is where we write our most important thoughts and feelings, where are lives are now and where they're going, where we want to go, etc. This blog is more frequent, more shallow (if that's a good word to use), more day to day. This is a place for you to come in after a hard day of rucking and tell us how bad it was; it's a place to tell you the results of a MRI arthrogram. It's a day to day or week to week update on our lives in real time... because I miss you all and I want us to keep in touch.

I know that LaLa blogs with her friends from school and may not be on here as much and Kate and Britty are also very busy, but some is better than none.

Well, being that I am at work, I'm going to get back to working. But let's give this a try... if it doesn't work, we'll delete it. Can't hurt to try, right?

I love you!
