Indulge me

There was some interesting discussion over on Will's blog about blogging being self-indulgent.  I agree, but I don't struggle so much with it.  Since I started blogging all the guilt I felt about not scrapbooking has vanished.  In fact I think I am going to sell all of my scrapbooking stuff (a big chunk of closet space will freed up and a lot of guilt be brought to a stop, even though I wasted a huge amount of money on all that crap).  I love seeing what my friends and family are up to, and love feeling more in touch with everyone.  It may be presumptuous to assume you all want to see all the details of our life.  But in the end this is a record for me and my family.  I love going back and seeing what we were doing last year and so I will keep on indulging myself by posting the details of our lives, and religiously checking all your blogs, because in fact, I love seeing what you all are doing.  So anyway, there you have it.

It may be self-indulgent...and it may be a way for me to feel validated...but it's also a wonderful way to keep in touch and share pictures and such. So there!

I love reading the blogs -- keeping up and seeing the pix. And it's fun to write something and think that maybe someone else reads it.

Ditto to what my big brother said! It's a great way to stay in touch.

Love the pictures, by the way. Yellowstone's a favorite place of ours with lots of good memories.
