Brand New Blogger

So I'm quite a rookie at this whole blog business. So new in fact, that this is my very first post, ever. I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for quite some time, but have been a bit nervous about it. Who in the world would read it? Should it be public or private? Is it safe to share information about my family like this? The real reason I started this blog is so I'll have a place to write down the experiences I share with my family, my own little journal. I seem to forget things pretty easily these days, and I'm hoping this will be a way for me to keep track of the special little moments of our lives. The kids are growing so fast, I want a way to preserve the tidbits and treasures of our everyday experiences. I guess here goes nothing!
