Delayed Blog Posts and everyday musings

Recently I have been stuggling with the direction for our blog.  I don't want it to become one of the many blogs that are just journals or places to post pictures.  The blogesphere can be better served by avoiding that.  However, the problem remains. What do I write about and what ideas do I communicate?  Now, because I have been perplexed by this problem you get to be too.

Orginally, I intended this blog to be a place where Kelly and I could showcase our family and share our adventures, to share our family with potential birth mothers. Allow them to get to know us and perhaps one will find something that resonates in their soul.  It is infinitely more difficult for a birth mother than it is for us. I am just trying to find a way for them to know us.  Or even better if you know any incoviniently pregnant women send them our way.

With this as our goal, my tendency has been to focus on the adventures more than the family. Everyday life can seem dull in comparison. How can going to work, dinner conversation, working on finishing school or even a good Sunday School lesson ever compete with riding the slopes of Breckenridge. It really can't.  However it does not have to compete. Taking out the garbage plays a part in defining who we are and how we handle the rigors of life. In this case making sure the garbage goes out keeps Kelly happy, I don't get a stern look and our marriage stays strong. In some ways this is more important than a big anniversary trip.

Enough sentimentality!  This is the holiday season and it is time be festive. Although it can be hard at times. Like now, I am in a Tokyo Joe's having dinner and there is no Christmas music but I am listening to 80s music. Patrick Swazey is not going to get me in the Holiday spirit. 

Come on really? Does it have to be patrick?

I am going to post this now. Excuse any typos. I did this on my phone.
