After much pondering, prayer, and harassment from family and friends, I am sheepishly returning from my nearly six month blogging hiatus! Here's what I have learned about blogging:
once you stop, it's hard to start again (it's the opposite of what happens when you eat Pringles). You miss a week, a month, and it's a slippery slope from there. So, because I do want to document my life and the life of my child, I am resolutely resolving (how's that for a tongue twister?) to be a better blogger. If you want to come along for the ride, that's fine too!
Last night, Brandon and I hosted our first annual Halloween party. Costumes were required; children were forbidden. We invited 8 couples to come in costume for a night of merriment and mayhem (okay, not much mayhem occurred). I think it was a smashing success. I hope my guests would agree. We dined on baked potatoes, chili, rolls, salad and cookies.
We had a costume contest.
(Yes, you can hire me for your daughter's Disney princess birthday party.)
We had old people.
We had pirates:My cousin Shelby and her husband, Tom.
(I only recently met her, but that's a story for another day!)
We had '80's punk rockers.
Everyone had fantastic costumes. We laughed and played games and enjoyed the freedom of being childless for a few hours. I can't wait for next year!
(Oh, one more thing. I decided to make my blog public again and just be more careful about what I write. Please don't share this blog with any of your friends who are dangerous stalkers.)
