MOTIVATION!

I enjoy blogging for two reasons. I really enjoy getting some of my favorite memories and thoughts down on paper because they fly by so quickly and I forget so easily. I also enjoy letting my friends and family share in some of our family's favorite activities and memories. However, I have an ulterior motive now. I just ordered my 2009 blog printed in an 8.5x11 hardcover bound book. It came in the mail last week and Bill, Luke, Lora, and I have spent countless hours pouring over the pictures and re-reading some of the memories. I even fell asleep in bed one night reading the blog book! (That must be a sign my life is pretty boring, when I fall asleep reading about it!) I used to be a huge scrapbook advocate, but recently have not found the time to get the materials out and have not found the creativity to get all the pictures in a book. However, the blog is an EASY way to get pictures and information into a book that makes a great keepsake! So, here goes the motivation for keeping up with my blogging!
