Just Do It Already!!!

We're starting a blog!

I really enjoy reading other blogs and I've toyed with this idea since we were married and moved to California in June, but I always talked myself out of it for fear of not keeping up with it. It's no secret that I am beyond your average perfectionist (wonder where I get that from???...Dad!) so I didn't want to start something that I thought I might not do a good job of finishing. But anyway... I've finally decided to bite the bullet and convinced myself that I don't have to be a crazy Nazi-blogger but just update when I have something new to share! (I know you all think I'm crazy by now, and that's ok. I've learned to embrace it ;)! )

For those of you who don't already know, Chris is deploying to Afghanistan in April. We found out that he will at least have limited access to the internet, so this blog will do a great service of keeping him updated with pictures and stories besides just emails while he's overseas. We're not sure where our home will be when he comes back in November/December so this will also be a great way for our family and the friends we've made along the way to keep up with us as we move across the country in this crazy military life! :)

We've decided to move me back home to Texas while Chris is deployed, so we'll be super busy these next few weeks packing and moving everything into storage and me and Pete (our precious Yorkie) home with my parents.

But I'm sure I'll have time to blog in the process...right?? Sheesh, it's already starting...
