The Inaugural Post

Why is it that as life gets fuller, it also grows more fleeting?  Like the tassels swaying from my rear view mirror, my college self seems just behind me, yet here I find myself married for seven (!) years, with a career, a mortgage, and a baby.  How did I get here so quickly?  I am grateful for the many blessings God has showered upon us, yet by letting them slip by unaccounted for, I feel as though I've been remiss.  

I'm hoping this blog will serve as a hope chest of sorts, collecting bits of memories for me and my family, but the teacher in me also wants it to be useful and relevant, with recipes, interesting links, and the like.  I may be a bit (okay, a lot) ambitious, and I won't guarantee that anything I post will be interesting to anyone but me, but I guess that's the beauty of a blog, right?  

So-- deep breath-- here I go!  And I apologize in advance warn you about all of the baby photo bombs that are bound to happen.  I'm a mom, it's my job!
