This is the beginning of my personal blog...

It has always taken me a while to catch on to trends This applies to "blogging" as well. I am always skeptical about anything that has the potential to waste my time, especially in front of a computer screen. Blogging definitely seemed like it fit under such a category.

Then I was required to make a blog for my Family Relations class. For part of my grade I had to post each week about the things I was learning in the class. It was a very positive experience and I felt like I was able to say things that needed to be said, without forcing anyone to take the time to listen to me (I already do that enough, believe me) and I was free to make what I posted as intelligent or as meaningless as I wanted to. That, along with following the very inspiring and uplifting blogs of some of my friends, is what has inspired me to start my own personal blog.

I hope this will be a place where I can share the thoughts and experiences I have that make life meaningful. I want to share my love of life and the gospel and the faith and hope in my heart that I strengthen and nurture each day.

Enjoy reading!
