Waiting for my blog to start!!

It’s a new year and I’ve put this off long enough, so here I go!!!

I named/ tried to start this blog back in August 2011.  At that time our baby boy was about 5 months old and I thought I could do it…something that I’ve been putting off for a while.  However, August was when my husband (Andy) was officially out of the military.

We were trying to start a new business together, but I couldn’t help out as much as I thought with little Eli around, (being a Mom is time consuming and lots of work!…lol!!) so, Andy was pretty much on his own.

We had money saved and were ready to just bite the bullet and do the new business, but then our minds kept worrying about losing everything we had worked so hard to obtain, savings, homes, we were out of debt.  So we decided Andy was going to start applying for jobs.

He managed to get in touch with an old friend who told him about a job opportunity that would be good for us, but we would have to leave North Carolina and move back to Virginia.  So within 3 weeks we were packing a U-haul and our car, putting our home in North Carolina up for rent, and heading back to live in our home in Virginia not knowing 100% if the job was going to pull through.  On December 22, we finally had an official start date for Andy to start work.

So just a quick time line.  September we made the decision to move, spent 3 weeks packing, we arrived at our home in Virginia, October 4^th spent most of October painting the main floor, unpacking, organizing, having a yard sale, and trying to make ends meet with the money we had.  November, was much like October with getting settled into the house, and then of course December was crazy spending time with family and friends.  And of course with a new baby, and being a first time Mom, all this took ten times longer because we had a little Curious George on our hands, getting into everything and wanting to be a part of everything we were doing.

So here we are, it’s now January 3^rd and I am just now getting to work on my blog.

Why start a blog?

I decided to start a blog because I’ve needed an outlet for sometime now.  I have always loved to write, but have never done much with it, and then seeing that sooooo many people are blogging these days about anything and everything, I thought well, why not me.

At times I think I’ll bore people to tears with my thoughts and writing, but I guess it really doesn’t matter right, if it’s boring and people don’t like it, they don’t have to read it…at least that’s what I’m telling myself.

So I’m not sure what all I will put on here, but I’m excited to see where my thoughts and ideas go…..

It’s a great way to start the new year!!

Peace out and I hope to see you around!!

Sincerely,
