I am afraid to look back and see how long it has been since I have written a blog post.  Jake, we totally love you as much as the other kids.  But you are the reason there is no time for nonsense like keeping up with a blog.

Today I am inspired to start back.  And to start small.  Part of what makes keeping up with the blog so daunting is that I act like my posts should be professional.  Or eloquent.  Or include everything I want to say.  Well it won’t.  Ever.  Why?  Because I have a demanding full time position.  And so does Randy.  Oh yeah and we have these three children that we adore.  Those things all take priority.

So why start again?  Because I miss going back and reading old posts.  I miss reading my thoughts from 6 months ago.  I keep trying to become a journal-er (like I keep trying to become a runner.  That never quite sticks either).  I love reading back through my journals.  But I forget that to read back, you have to record in the first place.

So I’m trying again.  And I don’t care if anyone EVER reads this.  I want to read it…someday.
