There's a first time for everything...

So a couple of years ago, I remember hearing on the radio that one of the new Webster's Dictionary words was "blog". I also remember thinking to myself, "WTF is a blog?"

Well, a couple of years and one fantastic example later, here we are. After being inspired by my cousin-in-law/good friend Shannon Bralley whose own blog I seem to be glued to, I have decided to start my own blog. Now that Abby is here, I think I finally understand just how precious life is and just how fast it passes by so this blog is mainly an effort to record the events in my life. Maybe one day, years from now (after she puts me in an old folks home or has me committed) I can take a copy of this blog with me to help me remember the good, the bad and the ugly. I figure sometimes it will be more theraputic for me than anything else, but just in case anyone decides to take an interest in my life, I'll publish it on the internet for the world to see.
