Which came first, the blogger or the blog??

So, this is my first blog post...ever. I am constantly reading the blogs of friends, co-workers, friends of friends, and friend's co-workers, but I never had the thought to have one of my own. I always assumed that it would take so much time and effort and I would never keep up with it. Then I realized that I am constantly spreading news to our friends and family - whether it be a new recipe that turned out wonderfully, a current shopping mission, or an update on any house project, be it major or minor. Instead of repeating myself or telling the same story for a few days straight, why not have a place where Mark and I can talk about ourselves to whoever cares to listen?!? This way, our fun, smiles, laughs, failures, and victories are shared with those whom we love most. And who knows? Maybe somewhere along the way we will make a new friend or two!
