I'm no writer

Really, I'm not. I envy those people that can create beautiful works of art through words. My thoughts spill out through my fingers into this computer in a jumbled and chaotic sort of way.
Nevertheless, we are counseled to keep journals and I've never been very good at it. So, for the sake of my salvation, maybe this is the next best thing? If I can keep it up, of course. So my goal is to track my life and the life of my family. Also, my wonderful soon-to-be fiancée wants to be a part of this! I'm hoping it will become a family thing. I'm also hoping this blog will become a more productive distraction than Facebook so I don't feel quites as guilty for not paying attention in any of my classes... :)
