It all begins today

Today is the day that had to happen.

I have been considering keeping a blog to keep track of the coming and goings our life and have decided that I cannot put it off any longer. Life is so very busy and if I do not begin to keep track of it in a place where it can be stored long term I will forget most of it before the stories get to our scrapbooks.

A bit about me. I am a wife, stay at home mother, daughter and friend. I am married to Rodd and have been for just over 14 years, he is the love of my life and life with him just keeps on getting better. We have three precious children, Isabelle, Samuel and Timothy and we love watching them grow and change as the years go by.

I am a scrapbooker who is so very behind in the albums that I have started. This is the year where I will begin to get on top of it all. I am not going to be concerned with what I have not done and I hope that the past will get done eventually but I am dedicating myself to taking a photo a day for 2010 and working with my current photos and gradually working back through the years.

So here we go, keeping track of all things 2010. Lets enjoy the ride.
