the beginning?

Blogging. What's it all about? I guess the best way to find out what it's all about is to try it, right? Right. So... here it goes. Knowing my track record with this sort of thing, the chances of me keeping up with it are slim to none... but you never know!

Reasons why I'm going to give this a go:

1. Twenty years from now (or even 2 for that matter!), I want to be able to look back on what was going on during this unique time. I've been trying to catch up with some scrapbooking this weekend and the pictures are flooding me with memories. So much changes during college and I want to remember it through not only pictures, but words as well.
2. Some of the people I look up to most are doing the whole "blogging thing". I know it's not good to do what someone else is doing just because they are doing it... but I'm going to chance this one. :-)
3. I'm not exactly stellar with keeping people updated on my life. I wish I was better, but communication is just not one of my fortes. Maybe, just maybe, this will help?
4. There are some changes that I need to make in my life and I need to be accountable for following through on these ideas and goals of mine. I'm tired of trying and falling short. My Dad always told us that we have to write our goals down if we are going to succeed... so, (don't tell him) but I'm listening to his advice. (just this once!) Y

So... here it goes...
