A long time coming...

I have debated starting a blog for a long time now...it's something that has been floating around in my brain since right around the time Bryn was born. I have a long history with writing that really bloomed back in high school. Though my mom always told me that I wrote beautifully, I would often snuff the comments because she obviously had a bias opinion. She was MY MOM! It wasn't until an English teacher nominated me to be the editor of my high school newspaper that I realized my love and talent for writing. I ended up minoring in writing for a few semesters in college with dreams of becoming a news journalist or a sports writer. To make a long story short, life ended up taking me in a different direction but there are often times I have wondered what would have happened if I had continued to follow my dream.

A few weeks ago a friend of mine had her second baby. She shared a beautiful story in her blog about how she and her husband chose the baby's name and then a few days later an equally beautiful post about the birth. I commented on the eloquence of her story and she followed up by asking me if I had ever written Bryn's birth story. I was somewhat embarrassed at the fact that haven't. Actually, I have never written a single thing about my sweet, beautiful, bubbly 21 month old. So with the birth of my second baby a little more than a month away I have finally been given the motivation (or swift kick in the rear) to begin writing about my little family. I will probably skip around a lot between old stories, current family happenings, and my love for "projecting" but I hope you are able to learn about me in a different way through my (somewhat rusty) writing.

So without further adieu...the story of my sweet girl's birth. :)
