My First Blog Ever

Well I have set up a blog. I was jealous of my older brother, he was capturing moments, letting friends and family know his thoughts, sharing ideas and memories.....and well, I wanted to do that too. These are all items I would write down in a journal, not really, but who would ever see that? No one. Atleast not while I was living. So here it is, I hope it entertains you, and gives you insight to my life.

I titled it "It's not about me", because when i began thinking of all the things I could write in MY blog, it occurred to me it wont be about me, but about the wonderful world of marriage, parenting, loving God, and family. (okay it should read... God, marriage, parenting, then family)

The last five years (five years July 8th) of marriage and this last year of being a mom have showed me that I am the happiest when it's not about me. My day ends on a good note when Chad has laughed at my attempt to tell a joke, or I have had another "Owens" moment....(Owens moment: defined as stumbling, breaking something due to an advancement in motion with lack of control....and well there are many definitions)

Or the day ends with a smile because Jeb has learned to sing along to American Idol!! He will put his hand to his mouth and sing while the contestants sing. (GO BO BYCE!) I dont know if we should call it signing but he says AHHHH and changes the notes as he goes. Or I see Jeb smile because he knows we are going to push him in his new swing. Things that are so simple make the long days at work worth while.

I hope this blogging thing works, because I just used up the rest of my lunch break writing it!

Lunch: one Big n' tasty with cheese only and watered down blue powerade. (ugh)
