Just a quick note

I wanted to let any readers know that I love your thoughts and comments you leave on my blog. I appreciate you taking the time to read about our somewhat mundane and boring lives. I just wanted to express my love for blogging. It has released all my stress about not getting around to journaling or scrapbooking much anymore. I created this blog with the intent to have it printed into a book every so often and kept for my family record. You've probably noticed that I don't have any hilarious Youtube videos, or even many videos at all. I try to stick to things that can be printed. So it is fulfilling it's purpose, even if no one else reads it. I have always enjoyed recording lifes little details. I journaled like crazy while growing up and then switched over to a scrapbooking queen. Now I find that blogging works for me. So please don't ever feel obligated to leave a comment (although it's fun to hear your thoughts)! Honestly, I just find it amazing that anyone else would care to read about the everyday happenings of a quirky Mormon family living out in the midwest.

I love reading about the happenings of your quirky little family - probably because mine is just as quirky and I LOVE blogging as well. How would I ever know all these things about you and your family after not even seeing you in so many years. The blogging world is a wonderful place!! I, too, plan to print up the pages and put them in a blogging book. I think it will be fun for my kids to see later on. (Besides, I love reading funny things in other's blogs - your "big snip" post was so funny!!!!!)

Blogging is the best! It is such a great motivator to journal about your family, especially when people are depending on it (like grandparents in other states!). It is the first time I have really been on top of it and I SO want to find a way to print it out. Do you have a place you've found that is easy to convert the blog over to print? I would love any insights!

And I LOVE that I found your blog. It is fun to get to know you in a way that I never have. Your family is just too darling!

So so allergies! Uuuugh! I'm often up anyway, but usually my head isn't pounding so much and my body isn't as sore from sneezing all day. No fun. Hope we both can feel better soon.

Thanks for the blog printing info! Those look fantastic. I can't wait to put it all together.

As for the hyperlinks, when you are writing a new post, highlight the word(s) that you want linked and then click on the little green circle with the chain link thing on the top of the post with the other options. Then just past or type in your link. Hopefully that makes sense. Have a great day!

Blogging is such a great way to journal life's happenings. I have never been good at keeping a journal so I'm glad I have our blog to remember a few things anyway. I love to read about your family. Since blogger and facebook I feel like I still have my old friends. It has been fun.
