welcome

well, after being inspired by other people's blogs and such, i decided to commandeer our wedding blog and turn it into my own personal blog. although i sort of have another blog (peanutzarch.blogspot.com), that one is mostly pictures and usually updated by brandon. this blog is meant to share with others what i'm thinking, reading, doing, etc. (thank you, kelly for the inspiration). i hope that this blog will serve to provoke some interesting conversations with others, and help me keep in contact--after all, that was new year's resolution #1--make time for friends and family.
