My 1st Post

Wow, so I've been a little nervous to start this blog. I've been thinking about it for awhile but was slightly intimidated because I'm a professional lurker. I tend to read friend's blogs, friends of friends blogs, random blogs I happen upon during my Internet "research". I sometimes (often) come away feeling slightly voyeuristic, thinking I should be spending time documenting my own life then reading about the Brown's recent camping trip. Do I know the Browns? No, but I'm pretty caught up with their Fall activities. So I'm stepping out of the shadows and writing my own story.

Another reason I hesitated was a lack of confidence. I have a friend T. that happens to make me laugh every time I read her blog. I read several running blogs mostly for inspiration. Now, I know I'm not that funny unless you count saying "that's what she said" as funny. Nor do I find myself inspirational unless I inspire you to stop reading this blog and write a better one of your own.

The reason I'm really doing this though is for my son. He is the funniest, most inspirational person I know. So until he can type on his own, he's stuck with me trying to document our life, our baby steps.
