Welcome to My Empty Nest

After some consideration I have decided to become a blogger. I don't think I really know the meaning of the word~Blogger~ it seems to be such a silly word. Once you say it, you automatically want to rhyme it with the word clogger and that just seems wrong to me. At any rate, here I am and I am going to make an attempt at it. When wondering what to "Blog" about, I decided that it should be something interesting, something that others will want to read about, a blog that may offer some advice, while seeking it at the same time. I will admit that my inspiration to blog came after reconnecting with a dear friend from college. Sarah may possibly have the best blog I have ever read and I thank her for the inspiration!

2009 brought many changes to our family. Our youngest child left home for college, leaving my husband, myself and our labrador Noopy, as empty nesters. I had never fully contemplated the meaning of that either...Empty Nest. It does make sense to me as I have often thought of our home as a nest, a place to raise our young, teach them good values and then send them off into the world. Our "nest" is located in a small town in Indiana, a town with more pigs than people and only one stoplight! It is my hope that I can capture many memories in this blog and leave my "electronic fingerprint" out there for those who know me now and those members of my family that have yet to be born. If you have ever had the curiosity to read someones diary that is what you will be doing here. I truly hope that you will check in often in 2010 as I attempt to continue to adjust to life without all the drama that came with raising two girls, continue to run my own business~work for another company outside the home and live life as fully as God possibly intended.
