My Blog

And what it means to me..... Throughout the past 3 years I have documented our lives on my blog. It started out as a way to keep track of all our fun wedding plans but has evolved into so much more than just wedding planning. When I started it I never would have imagined what it would become and how many memories I would document on here and have all these wonderful years of our lives to look back on. I have made a book of the story of our lives. I'm so grateful to have these memories written down. When I look back on certain posts like the one I wrote about our wedding day even less than 2 years later I couldn't remember it with that level of detail. I love reading about all of the feelings I had that day. Or the day that my little Gabriella was born, I think I was more of a nervous wreck than her mom. And of course bringing little Rocky home with us and growing our family. He has had such a huge impact on our lives. From these memories to everything else in between I have documented in on here.

My blog has served as my personal journal. It doesn't really have a theme. I read other blogs, cooking blogs, fitness blogs, photography blogs, fashion blogs, how-to blogs, travel blogs or any other type of blog I might stumble on. There's a blog for everything out there. My theme is me, and my journal, good, bad or ugly, it's the story of my life. Thankfully we have been very blessed and most of my blog has been documenting all of the wonderful things that have happened in our lives. But on occasion as there is in life there are certain things that happen that can be a disappointment or frustration, it's all part of life and sometimes my life.

I have always been very open and honest with all of my feelings. I'm a very happy, outgoing and personable person. I love to talk to anyone I meet, always have, always will. I'm not someone that is good at keeping secrets, and I'm especially bad at keeping my emotions in. But at times that is what I've had to do lately on my own personal blog, and I haven't been true to myself. I've refrained at times for writing things that impact me on a huge level because at the end of the day this is the internet after all. And one never knows who is out there reading this.

At the end of the day I've always been very proud of sharing my thoughts, emotions and memories with anyone that is interested in sharing them with me. I stand behind everything that I write on here, it represents how I am feeling at a particular point in time. I have never written something here that I would not say in person if asked. However some recent events have caused me to evaluate exactly how I want to proceed with my blog, which I think is a real shame. While I know anyone out there can read this I do have my own qualms about sharing my personal feelings and being open and honest about situations when someone would potentially try to use this in a negative way against me.

For this reason I am not sure what that means for my blog if I am going to continue with it or if there is another avenue I can pursue to keep my thoughts private and share it with those that I trust the most with my thoughts and the story of our lives. I have a number of posts in my draft folder that I do want to finish. I'm so behind on writing them mostly because I use writing as my creative outlet, it is me time and I have to be in the positive mood to write them and give them the happiness that they deserve and quite frankly certain situations have impacted me tremendously and I'm not really in a mood to write but I'm going to give it a go and get them out there and then see where I end up.....
