Hello out there!!

Well, I have finally decided to officially enter the blogger community. I have blogged a few times on my myspace page, but it is quickly growing old. I thought of closing that account because there is a certain person that insists on causing issues every few months. But that would then defeat the purpose of having it open to connect with old pals who may try to find me in the wonderful world of myspace. For those who don’t think myspace is such a wonderful world, what do you think of Facebook? Just curious.

I decided to start this blog in advance of inevitable changes about to occur in life. The air force will be the backdrop to our new adventure in June 2009… a new duty station and the best job thus far in my husband’s career! For my new blogspot I’ve been throwing around the following titles: Adventures of a Military Family or Reflections of a Mother’s Heart. Then I tried to get a little more creative and came up with my favorite, Rocks In My Pocket.

Rocks In My Pocket… Seriously my little boys are crazy for rocks!! Everywhere we go they are picking up rocks and asking me to put them in my pocket to take them home. It’s rather cute until I hear them clinking rather loudly in the dryer. The big rocks end up in our front “flower bed” by the way and we have grown quite a collection (along with the shells). Since I don’t have a green thumb, they will have to do. And in case you are wondering I used to collect rocks too, I suppose that’s where they get it from. My collection exists somewhere in the attic of my parents’ home back in Illinois. Have to dig them up sometime (no pun intended) and show my boys that I used to do that too!

But I digress. Time to carry on with writing or “blogging” and hope that I get some creative juices going. Seriously, I have a few friends who are so talented and I guess you could say that they’ve kind of become my inspiration for blogging. Seriously one of them says “seriously” a lot. You know who you are and I love you to death!!

I think I will go with the title ‘Easier Said Than Done.’ I’m sure someone already has that title… but I don’t mind and I’m sure it doesn’t really matter. Knowing me it won't last long anyway. I will probably change the title at least a half dozen times. And my photo too. I'm sure my whole blogspot will be refurbished by next week. LOL

Well, see ya next time!

  1. I have a Facebook account, but I like MySpace better! You are off to a great start! I am more of a picture blogger so that I can skip the thinking part and using "grown-up" words like you. LOL Seriously though, you are an awesome writer! Can't wait to read tomorrow's entry.

  3. Hi Jenn! So cool that you've started blogging! :) I use Facebook, and LOVE it...never tried Myspace, but most of my family and friends are on Facebook anyway, so no need to do both for me. There's a great blog called "Rocks in My Dryer" - your "Rocks in my Pocket" idea reminded me of that! Melonie
