Why the heck did I start a blog???

Ok, so I am not really sure why I started a blog - (David - I know you think this is probably stupid, but I thought it might be fun - no one is probably going to read it anyways!).  I read other people's blogs and I always think its really interesting to hear what people are up to - maybe it means i have too much time on my hands but oh well, let's give it a shot.  =)  So this idea of blogging came to me today while i was BBM'ing with Em - not really sure why, just out of the blue!  Here are my thoughts:

The last few months have been CRAZY busy - went to Hawaii, Minnesota, planned my high school 10 year class reunion (which was a blast by the way!), my best friend got married - showers, bachelorette parties, and of course the wedding!, ran my first half marathon - 13.1 miles (probably one of my biggest accomplishments thus far in life - and i could type a whole blog about my thoughts around that), had friends in town from Hawaii, and the list goes on and on.  These are the type of things I want to blog about.  No one probably cares about any of them but I kinda think it sounds fun to write about what i am doing in my life.  I love to scrapbook - pick out the perfect color of paper, crop my pictures, pick out cute stickers and letters and paste it all down.  The problem is - no one ever sees my scrapbooks!  I spend hours and hours scrapbooking - I literally have my entire life scrapbooked. (not exaggerating).  Yes, I am a very sentimental person (and a perfectionist) and i cherish all my experiences in life and want to remember every little detail.  I also do realize no one ever is going to care about seeing my entire life scrapbooked - I have to remind myself it's also a hobby.  I also try to tell myself that some day my children will love looking at them (maybe not the ones from college though)  - who knows if they will want to see them or not! ha ha.   Where am i going with this you are probably wondering - blogging is kinda like scrapbooking.  I am not a great writer, which you have probably figured out, and tend to ramble and stray away from topic but I'm gonna do my best.  Blogging is going to be another form of scrapbooking for me - and if by chance you ever want to spend hours looking at my actual scrapbooks, let me know - if not, feel free to keep reading =)
