This is the beginning of my blog, but definitely not the beginning of my life as a wife and mother. That began four years ago when I married Nathan and three years later welcomed our first baby into the world. The purpose of this blog is simply to remember the memories we are making, the thoughts that go through my head, and the feelings that go along with them. This blog is not written for other people (though please feel free to read and comment), but rather a virutal scrapbook of my precious family. The following excerpt from Possession by A.S. Byatt sums up this blog and really, my life:
"What is it? My dear?"
"Ah, how can we bear it?"
"Bear what?"
"This. For so short a time. How can we sleep this time away?"
"We can be quiet together, and pretend--since it is only the beginning--that we have all the time in the world."
"And every day we shall have less. And then none."
"Would you rather, therefore, have had nothing at all?"
"No. This is where I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the mid-point, to which everything ran, before, and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere."

Glad to see you took the plunge into blogging. :)
