Why The Blog Not?

Pictured: my wedding day in my family's home country...can you guess where? 

I've been writing in a journal ever since I was a kid. I've always enjoyed being able to go back and read old entries, remembering details I may have forgotten, just by looking over a few lines from the past. Some entries are really fun or funny...others, pretty embarrassing (probably should've taken a break during my teen years ;). And the multi year journal entry books? Game changer! It's so interesting to see where life has taken you from 1 year ago to exactly 1 year later. 

I'm a first generation American who's parents didn't have the luxury of daydreaming the way their hard work has allowed me. We don't talk about the past, we just move towards the goal of a better future. Now that I'm about to become a mother, I want to be able to document my life and learning experiences for my daughter. To me, blogging is another outlet for journaling and being creative. It doesn't have to be serious all the time. As you get to know me, you'll see I'm too awkward and jolly for that type of thing. 

For all you fellow bloggers out there, what are your reasons for putting your thoughts on the world wide web?
