I've found that since I have started this blog I have not kept up with it the way I had originally planned. I thought I would be so anxious to post things that I would run out of things to post. In fact, some of you will remember that I stated in the very first post that I would back post the first year of our marriage as a form of an online journal.... that is yet to come.
I originally was avoiding updating my blog back in October, while still anxiously waiting for new posts from all of you, because I had no faith in our ability to keep the pregnancy thing a secret for any amount of time. I tried to repent for my month long absence by posting the whole months events at once, but then quickly went back to avoiding it.
When we finally told friends and family our news we were heading into the holiday season. So I dutifully posted the ultrasound pic and a brief explanation/apology and in my mind I told myself I would be better and that there would be plenty to blog about during the holidays.
Well, the holidays have come and gone, and we were pretty busy like all of you I'm sure. Every time I thought about posting a blog it seemed someone beat me to it. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anyone has the exclusive rights to blogging about a particular event... I more used it as an excuse for myself not to mimic everyone else's blogs, you know, I was procrastinating, justifying, avoiding. I actually thought several times of creating posts sending you to blogs I have linked to mine to let you know what we have been up to. If you have time in your life and ever get anxious for some news from us, it is sometimes helpful to visit our family members blogs. They post pictures and everything!
That leads me to another excuse ... pictures! It seems I have it somewhere in my pregnant mind that you can't create a post without a picture! I tried to tell Marshall a few weeks ago that we need a better camera. He informed me our camera is fine and actually not too old and that the problem is that we always rely on others to take pictures for us. It's so true. We really take family and friends for granted that way. We are never the ones with the camera.
So, now that you have heard them all.... NO MORE EXCUSES! I PROMISE I'll be BETTER! From now on were we go so does the camera! And some of you family and friends may get the smallest feeling we are mimicking your post because chances are that any shared event we will be the last to write about! In the mean time, some of you will be called upon for holiday pictures because although a lot were taken this season, none were taken by us!
If you braved it through this rambling....look forward to beautiful posts and pictures this year from the Beesons!
