For those of you wondering to yourselves, "What is this blog, why am I reading it, and why is it being written?" this post is for you. I myself have wondered this very thing too. After a couple of weeks playing around with this new venture, I will come clean.
First of all I would like to make the statement that under no circumstances do I believe just because I am married that I know more than I did or am a more well rounded person than I was before I was married. I have just chosen to have an overall blog theme that is now showcasing what experiences myself, my husband, my children (step and potential future), and/or all of us share. Not everything is going to be about being married or filled with mushy love stuff. This blog was started after our nuptials took place ergo the reasoning for my blog title. Most blogs I see out there have a solid theme such as weight loss, teaching ideas, or everything you need to know about having a baby. My blog is just going to be filled with my own thoughts and life experiences.
The second point I would like to make is that I am not blogging for other people. I am not looking for approval of what I am doing. I am not looking for justification on whether or not this is a good idea. I am doing this for me. If people do end up liking what I have to say then that is terrific! I am glad other people can take pleasure in these life experiences. I had a heart to heart with myself a few weeks ago as Nate went off to his barbershop quartet practice. I noticed that he is actually pursuing hobbies outside of our marriage which is fantastic! He is doing something he loves for himself. I took a hard look at myself and discovered that outside from Netflix I had no real hobby. This concerned me a lot, so I started tossing around things that I could start doing for myself that could be fun. This is when I turned to blogging, and I am glad I did. Ever since I have started, I have enjoyed it so much. This came as a shock to me at first because the idea of writing during my school days never interested me in the slightest! So, this is solely something for me to enjoy doing for myself and I am very glad I chose this. I will also be looking for other outlets of creativity of course, but this is a good start.
These are the two main reasons for sharing my happenings online. You may like it, you may not and that is fine with me. I am not here to judge others or try to make people think one way or another. I am not here to offer up some life altering teachings. I am here to share my thoughts and opinions and my real life experiences so I can look at them and learn, and if you happen to learn something too, I am glad. (Of course that could very well just be the teacher inside me!)
