WHY am i starting a blog?

A. it officially started when i realized that pretty much all the young, trendy, cute married girls i knew were blogging. i wasn't exactly stalking their blogs or anything, but i'd see status post updates and links to their blogs on facebook, and i knew that my aunts had been blogging for years. so it had a certain appeal in the idea that - if you want to be a cool married person, you'd better start blogging. otherwise you'll just turn into an old married lady with your arm fat dangling in the wind whenever you start waving your knitting needles around... right? 

B. next step to kick my butt into gear was when all my best friends posted in a row on my facebook wall. aside from saying they missed me (which was sweet, because i miss them all terribly), they asked for pictures and my favorite line was: "Please document your married life. cause i tried to stalk you and there was nothing i havent stalked already".... i found it rather funny, and i realized she was right. 

C. HOWEVER, i don't like the idea of stamping my newlywed life all over facebook. lets face it, i'm not especially close with all of my "friends" on facebook. i have fond memories of most of them, or at least know them. but even so, i don't feel like being that obnoxious newlywed with the million status updates saying "OH I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH" and "oh the hubby is just the greatest... he just cooked me dinner and then we made a pazooki and cuddled up in front of a movie." because you know, that would just be mean to rub it in everyones faces how happy i am and how much i love him. so... if anyone actually feels like reading my random ramblings, thennnn feel free to read or ignore whatever you like.
