It has been on my mind for a long time now that I want to start a new blog. I feel like I have sort of gotten my feet wet to the whole blog experience with this blog...BUT...if you know me you know that I follow A LOT of blogs. A lot of AMAZING blogs. And I say that they are amazing not only because they look amazing with pictures, and buttons, and gadgets, and music, and...well you get the point. I think they are amazing because of the people who write them and the stories they share. I follow blogs of people I have never met and people who are most assuredly unaware of the fact that I follow their blogs. People in Wisconsin, California, Arkansas, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Indiana, and the list goes on. All of these people have something to share, and while they may have started in sharing with their inner circle of family and friends, we all know that over the internet it is quite easy to share on a different level. Unfortunately, with the good comes the bad and the ugly, and we read and see a lot of horrible and inappropriate things over the internet and on TV. BUT...that's why I love the blogs I follow. They are clean and fun and a chance for people to share everything from recipes and funny stories to Scripture and prayer requests. So...the point of this post is to tell you that I am craving a new blog. A fresh start. Something with a little more piz-azz and something that I will enjoy updating and sharing with others.
On that note...if any of you blog gurus out there have tips for creating a great blog (backgrounds, music, favorite gadgets, etc.)...please do share! I am an eager and willing student. It may take me a while to get this thing off the ground...or rather onto your screen...but I am trying to get the creative juices flowing.
In the meantime...we hope you are all doing well. Virginia, as always, is beautiful right now. Life is busy. Adam just returned from a 6-day study intensive held in Windsor, Ontario for his CFA exam. The exam is the first Saturday in June. He is taking Level III this year, and if he passes the test he will officially be a Chartered Financial Analyst. He has put 6 years of hard work into this...please pray that he feels calm as he heads into the test. I am so proud of him for his determination. We won't know until the middle of August whether or not he has passed, but we always love the time after he takes the test to relax and take it easy for a while. Well, Adam is mowing the lawn and there is laundry to be folded. So...I'm off!
