Goals

I’ve been a slacker in the blogging department lately!  I didn’t realize how far behind I was!  Before I catch up though, I wanted to “write down” some goals I have for my blog.  I figure if I actually post my goals, then I might actually do them too!  We’ll see how that works out!

This blog is our family journal.  Each year I have it printed into a book so that we can physically have it and reread it.  While I’m pretty good at posting about all of the stuff we do, it’s mostly events.  I’m really bad about documenting the daily stuff that Jesse and I will wish we could remember down the road and that our kids will have fun remembering too.

GOAL #1: Once a week (at least) post about the non-events…things the kids do or say, things that have inspired me, answered prayers, sweet things my husband does, that kind of stuff!  The kind of stuff most of you won’t really care about! 

The passing of my grandpa got me to thinking.  Years ago, he and my grandma each wrote their life story into a book and gave a copy to everyone in the family.  I think they were in their 60s when they wrote their books.  I love that they did this, but can’t believe the detail they could recall from memory!  I’m not sure how good my memory is now, let alone in 30 years!  So, I’ve decided I want a way to preserve my childhood for my kids (and for me!).  Also, a couple of Christmas’s ago, my sweet sister put all of my parent’s photo albums on CD for each of us kids.  So I have all these pictures on my computer, but no hard copies.  And, since I’ve always been a terrible journal keeper, I have nothing in words either!  So, since I print my blog, I figure this is my best bet!  I also want to do this for Jesse too…I just need to find the pictures!

GOAL #2: Start recording and uploading my childhood and Jesse’s childhood.  Maybe I’ll even get him to post some!

2 goals…shouldn’t be that hard, right?!  I can do it!  First I need to catch up on my regular blogging…
