Givin' It A Whirl!

This is my first official blog. I've dabbled in posting comments on my Facebook and Myspace profiles, but have recently found myself looking to do more formal journaling of my family's daily activities, events, adventures, and antics. Everyone is just growing up too fast and as I find myself having less time for my beloved hobby of scrapbooking, I want another source to document our lives and share with friends and family. I would like to use this as a source for my scrapbook journaling once I get it in gear again. This seems like a perfect tool.

I really have enjoyed reading others' blogs like the Early, Uhl, Horton and Hamilton families. Their posts are entertaining, informative, and inspiring. I have an appreciation for Facebook (my "other" hobby) and the 200+ friends and family it has allowed me to get in touch and keep up with. Family that I typically see only at weddings and funerals I feel like I can now keep up to date with them, and we don't have to play catch-up so much at those rare family events, but rather celebrate and enjoy each other's company, and ask about those things that we know already are going on with each other. It's also a great way to reach out to and support those we love and care about.

I really enjoy writing and who knows maybe someday these memoirs will turn into a book.

I hope that you will become a follower of my family's blog lovingly named "CPence x 2 + 3" - you do the math! I'll give you the answer, it = love.

  1. Christy- there is a website called "Cutest little blog on the block" that I use for my blog backgrounds. The creators of that site also have another site 2momtalk where you can make your blog into a book--choosing a beginning and ending date for the book. I plan to make a book of our Serbian journey when we get home!
    Blogging is great therapy! Happy blogging!
