here I go

Many months ago, I was so inspired reading through Becky's blog and the cute stories about her children. For a moment, like a split-second moment, I thought, "hmmm, I'd like to do that too." Then I realized that under no uncertain terms would I have time for that. Later, looking through Rebecca's and then Liz's cute blogs, I thought about it. I still don't know where you girls find the time, yet I am becoming much more aware of my own inefficiency in time management. Would it really take so much time? After all, I used to be an avid journal writer, and I always found it wonderfully therapeutic. I also mourn about how bad I have been about keeping in touch with people that I care about. Maybe a blog could be an on-line method of doing both. Keeping a journal of the extroardinary and the mundane even if for only me to keep, and also a way to keep my loved ones better informed and connected to my life. So I'm going to try it. I'm quite certain that very few will even care to read about the going-ons in this particular house, but since I enjoyed my three friends blogs so much, why not give it a shot?

The title of my page "I love you pi" is a direct quote from my 5 1/2 year old Dallin. Someone once told him that pi is the longest number, and him being the mathmatician that he is, equates this with being the highest possible number, the last number, the biggest and best number. So when he expresses his feelings for us, he uses the phrase, "I love you pi." It's quite a compliment. And although I have tried to tell him that pi is really only a little more than 3, he looks at me like, 'no mom, you just don't get it.' I never was very good at math.
