Back to the Beginning...

So the point of this was to have a place to document my life. I got this idea while watching "Scrapbook Memories" on BYU. One of the hosts said that we should take pictures of our lives every day for a month so we could truly see how special each day could be... that in looking for things to photograph we would find or create special moments. So I tried it, and have been taking my pictures almost every day, and I wanted a way to display it all, because I am not a scrapbooker (even though I wish I was). So this morning I went online to find out how to back-date posts so I could accurately show my month of photos. So, I started the blog yesterday, but today I'll go back to the beginning to show when this all really started.

So what's the point?

Why am I doing this? Well, I want a place where I can document my life, albeit fairly ordinary, because some extraordinary things do happen, and some ordinary things... well they can feel special too when you take the time to ponder them. I was a diary keeper as a kid, and after that I kept notes and letters and memorabilia from my teenage life, and I've journaled on and off since then. I've always dreamed of being a scrapbooker, but I'm just not. So this seems like a place where I can reflect, dream, and share so that every day feels like a special day! And as for my audience (my husband said "why are you doing this and who are you doing it for?") maybe just me, maybe not, I haven't decided yet. Maybe someday my ramblings on about everyday life might interest someone who wasn't born in the 70s, who didn't grow up during the 80s, someone who didn't fall in love during the 90s, or have to become a responsible adult in the 2000s, someone who thinks to himself, "What was life like when you were little?"...maybe this will be for those people someday...
