Jumping in.

It's with some serious hesitation I've approached the world of blogging.  Nate can attest to the fact I've been mulling over this idea for the last few weeks but not yet ready to take the plunge.  I see the benefits of expressing oneself.  I see the benefits of being able to stay connected with friends and family that are loved, but at a distance.  I see the benefits of being able to chronicle this thing called life.  But it's a little scary to put oneself "out there".  The feeling of being exposed unnerves me a little.

But I've decided the good outweighs the bad. 

And this is what has lured me in at last.  Because I see that life will not be slowing down anytime soon, there are so many changes to come, and I want family and friends to be able to be a part, even if it's in this one small way... if they want to be.

So I'm jumping in.
