I have written so many blog posts, but never feel like they are good enough to post. That's ridiculous though, isn't it? Because this is my blog. Not anyone else's. I started this blog as a place to document our lives. A place where friends and family can follow along on our weekly ventures and we can look back on posts and remember all the fun (and real) things that were happening. 

I look at our other blog all the time! It's a diary of another time! A record of life before. When Mike and I were dating, after we got engaged, and our first years of marriage. It's full of happy and sad, funny and boring. Some of the posts are very personal thoughts I put out there for anyone to read. Some posts are less intriguing and actually quite boring. But they are there, and I am so happy that they are.

Here on this blog I am going to post our real life. My thoughts (though semi filtered) still may seem less than perfect. Probably much like this post, very un-blogworthy. But if I stress about editing my thoughts, then it's not really real. It'll be filtered, after all, this is a public blog and I want to keep some things private from random followers and even family.

But if I worry too much about it, I hide it away and it never gets published. It never gets recorded to look back on, and what's the fun in that?

So with that said, here's to this new blog. This new part of our lives. This new story!

This little girl is one month old already. We love her cute face and pretty big eyes. And I can't get enough of those soft cheeks and find myself kissing them and taking in her sweet baby smell all day long. She is true perfection and we are so in love with her!! Mike told me the other day how much he loves waking up next to her. She's always looking at him with big eyes ready to talk to him and tell him all about everything.
