I keep telling myself that I am going to start actually posting things on my blog, but would keep putting it off. My most common excuse was that I didn't have anything to talk about, which really isn't true. I'm sure I can find things to write about. Whether or not people find them interesting isn't all that important I suppose. I generally plan to posting updates on my pregnancy, progress on my craft projects (such as sewing, cross stitch, and crochet), as well as history related tidbits ranging from historic housekeeping and Civil War reenacting, to anything I find interesting. I also would like to do more interesting cooking and baking, and hopefully the prospect of posting about it will inspire me to actually do it.
I suppose a bit of an introduction would be in order for my first post. I'm a young stay-at-home expectant mother. I have an amazing husband who is truly my best friend. In May we will celebrate our first anniversary. Then in mid June we are expecting our first child, a daughter. We are both terribly excited. My husband and I are both geeks in our own rite. He, with his masters in Computer Science, is more the traditional computers, video games, roll playing geek. I on the other hand, with my bachelors in Anthropology, am more of the history, Tolkien, costuming, Civil War reenacting type geek, but we both enjoy and dabble in the other's preferred fields. We have two cats, Lily and Smittens. They are both American Shorthairs. They are sisters. Lily is pure slate gray, and Smittens, is a gray and fawn tortoise shell. In mid June we are expecting our first child, a daughter. We are both terribly excited.
Our true core, however, is our faith and families, which are both really important to us. We are both conservative Roman Catholics who come from faith-filled families. We are both very close to our families and are fortunate that we are able to live within comfortable driving distance to both sides. With our first child on the way, we look forward to have a strong Catholic family of our own to add to the wealth of support and love of our extended relations. Both of us were homeschooled for at least part of our academic experience, and it is something we very strong believe in and plan to provide for our own children. It will be a while though, before we've any children old enough to start schooling, though. And I think that's about it as far as introductions go. Hopefully now that I've actually done the first post I'll start really using this blog. :-)
