Why Start Now?

(Posted on 5/11/09)

This blog was started about a year ago and remained blank because I couldn't figure out how to start. So why now? I refer back to my friend's original post. I am usually good with rules.

1. As far as posting often - we'll see. Right now I just try to make sure the kids are fed, and that every once in awhile it's something other than Mac & Cheese.
2. Post must contain pictures. This is one of the main reasons I am starting. I have 4 years worth of digital photos on my computer that are just sitting there.
3. The blog must be public, at least for now until weird people comment - though our life is not so interesting that the public will be knocking down our door.

We'll make up the other rules as we go along. As for the main reasons to start a blog...

1. I hope that my kids will read it some day and realize that their mom wasn't too crazy. Isn't that the purpose of Family History - to realize you do have something in common with those that came before you?! (I am going to work back in time to catch up.)
2. I have never wanted to be old and be behind technology. I actually was starting to think I was too old to blog.
3. I am not disillusioned enough to think that all of you are dying to read about us, although I do enjoy checking my friends' blogs on occassion to see what they're up to.

So there you have it. Enjoy the ride!

Welcome to the blog world. Can't wait to hear about the Anderson family. Be sure to let us know if your adventures include a Utah trip. We'd love to have another Seoul mission get together.
