And so it begins...
Well, after much blog-stalking (yes, it's been me that's been visiting your blogs and refusing to comment without having something for you to read as well :) lol), I've finally started the steriod blog-era of my career. For the record, I have never knowingly taken blog-enhancing drugs (this will become quite evident very quickly). So on my very first post, I thought I'd share "Trav's Top 10 Reasons For Starting A Blog"...here we go...
10. The ability to leave comments on other blogs and not feel guilty about not giving them something to laugh at, too.
9. Funny stories. Okay, I'll be honest and say that the embarassing ones will more than likely be about me...and the funny ones will be about the rest of the family.
8. Venting. While I'll be trying my hardest not to turn this into a complaint shop, I think it goes without saying that everybody needs to vent every once in a while :)
7. Advice. Any kind. Places to eat, recipes, games, shows, whatever...and of course, PARENTING! :)
6. Vacation news...yours, ours, suggestions...you name it.
5. Golf tips??
4. lil' gomper updates: he/she is only 4 months away (if all goes well :) and i'll try and keep the updates steady.
3. i think the only thing that might save this blog is pictures of lil' winker beaner (aka beaner-winker, beaner, bree-bree) and eventually her sister/brother...so hopefully this blog will remind me to take. more. pictures.
2. Not. Do. Homework. :) (Wifey, if you're reading this...please skip #2 and proceed to #1)
And the number one reason...............................
1. Let's just say my cousin who is 5 years my senior...oh wait, that would give away her age...let's just say my cousin who is greater than 4 years but less than 6 years my senior is more in touch with my friends than I am :) love ya jess!
You are a goof! And i did read #2 NOT HAPPY!! You know i want a hubby who gets good grades so it better happen!!!! Can't wait to see more! Love you to the moon and back babe!
Good work!

dang this is going to be entertaining! and well you're NOT giving away my age unless you announce yours. allow me. if i'm +5, you must be.... 19?? i'll get james on here to give you some golf tips. careful. this is addicting. by starting a blog it sounds like you've already been sucked in...
p.s. i doubt the grass can be greener anywhere more than HOME! let me know what you want on your blog design ;) you could pay me in... new baby kisses!!

Hello and welcome Trav!!
Congrats on the new little on coming. I try to be a good little blogger but it takes more time that I've got some days. I am a comment stalker at times too but everyday is a fresh start right. Looks like you've got a great start and I'll be checking in!!!
