Welcome to our little section of the World Wide Web. I have been trying to figure out a way to express myself, share my family and created a little something that my kids could look back at and maybe help them understand their crazy father. I have tried a journal but somehow writing in a book lacks that certain something that drives me to keep it current and relevant. Social networking sites have helped but anyone that isn't a member would not be able to partake and I'm not a big member's only type of guy. So this year after I created our annual family newsletter I got the idea to take that electronic format a step further and create an ongoing forum to share what's going on with me and the family. Believe me, it seems almost egotistical to think that anyone would ever want to read, let alone follow, the ramblings I may put out. But then again everyone seems amazed that I create the newsletter that we send out each Christmas and they seem to enjoy it. Hopefully if you choose to read this you will gain a little more insight to my family and if I can entertain you along the way, well that's a bonus.
So, it's the beginning of the New Year and I am actually really excited. For some reason this year feels like there is so much pent up opportunity. Hopefully, you will see us taking advantage of that excitement and choosing creative ways to have fun and make memories. I am really looking forward to just getting out and finding ways to spend that quality time with the family whether it's geocaching, camping, biking, hiking, boating or just taking in a sunrise. I'm not sure if I'm just getting older but I really have this internal feeling to cherish every moment with the family. This will probably drive them crazy and fill our schedule to the brim but they will thank me for it in the long run....I think. There is this feeling of energy to want to work even harder so that I can play even harder. I don't know if that makes sense but I am dedicating myself to be even more productive at work so that I can have even more quality time at home. Hopefully you have that same sense of optimism and we all enjoy a great 2011 and beyond. Till next time.....
Great to see you got your blog up and running. I think that this will be a great opportunity for you to express yourself and share with both the immediate and extended family. I really like the picture you have for a background too, lol. Best of luck with this endeavor and hope to make it into your posts soon.
