To begin... I must admit that I am a HUGE hypocrite. I used to think blogs were some pathetic attempt to brag up one's family and that no one really cared if junior was teething or sissy was learning to swim. Well that was the old me. The new me has turned into one of those mothers that wants to document every moment of my children's childhood. I think I'm afraid they'll grow up and think they were super deprived of everything, because I don't believe 6 year olds need cell phones or families need yearly $10,000.00 vacations to be happy. I believe children are happy with simple probably because they don't know any better, so why change that? I like simple... mainly because it's easy and I won't lie... cheap!
This blog isn't necessarily my way of documenting our play by play, but it will house the funnies, the crazies, and of course my attempts at being a professional photographer... oh and did I mention I loathe scrapbooking! Hate it, detest it, can't stand, and yet I'm sure I will create at least one book for each child, but probably not any beyond that... so sorry dear Reeves children, in that department you are definitely less fortunate and dare I say it, "deprived." Another reason to create this thing (blog) is I need an outlet to express myself creatively through words... I do love to talk and I used to (pre-children) enjoy writing and reading. I find myself struggling to pronounce small words and the inability so remember how to spell words like 'leave and sure.' So this (blog) is also another way to exercise, the brain that is. It doesn't get much exercise beyond reasoning with 4 year olds and occasionally attempting to pay farm bills... that isn't enough... I am beginning to lose it.
Okay okay... I could ramble endlessly but the REAL reason is because I love God, I love my family, and I love my life!!! I'm very excited to share our story from this day forward... probably not moment by moment because I am going to be busy living it and enjoying it, but at least here I'll have some of the story of "Geez Another Reeves."
