Suprisingly FUN!

Haha! I should totally get one of these shirts! I am so addicted to blogging! YES, ME! I'm so surprised too! But seriously, this blog has really been a blast! When someone first suggested doing a blog, it was for my Bible Study class at church. The idea was, the leaders of the class could make posts on a blog to keep everyone in class informed on what was happening in class. I was skeptical to say the least. My immediate reaction was "You mean I have to learn how to do a blog? I don't even know what that is!!!!" So, once the blog for my Bible Study class was set up (Click the Family Ties Fridge link to the right of the page), I decided that maybe I needed to "practice" a bit and set up a test blog of my own. Just so I could get a feel for everything....no one had to know about it, and if it was a big flop, then no big deal, right? Well, I guess you can see that this "test blog" has turned into a hobby of mine. I am loving it! I've learned to do so much with this, which is saying alot, because I am NOT the most computer savvy person you'd meet! I can find my way through some things here and there...but technical I am not. Well, this is really all easy. It's all set up for you. And the best part is, I get to write. I really have always loved writing. When I was in High school, one of my mentors, my English teacher, always gave me high marks for my writing. She encouraged it. I even remember her challenging me to "never give up writing, you have a gift" in my Senior Year Book. And I have had some of the same compliments thrown my way recently since going public with this blog. (By public, I mean a few choice family and friends.) My husband hears the compliments of how "I can write" and immediately starts trying to turn that into a money maker! "YOU SHOULD WRITE A BOOK, A CHILDREN'S BOOK, OR A NOVEL". It's not that I don't appreciate his enthusiasm for my "skill" so to speak, but this blog is easy because it's about my life. It's like carrying on a conversation of my thoughts with a brick wall...no one talks back, I just peck at the keyboard and ramble on and on about what's on my mind at the moment. Perhaps one day, I can become a published author. How fun would it be to have this blog published and pass down to my children. An actual record of our lives together! Well, like I said in the very beginning, I don't know what God's plans are for this blog, and maybe there really are no plans....but in the mean time...I sure am having fun!
