Let's start simple...

I've contemplated starting a blog for quite some time now for many of the same reasons that others do. I want to have a way to document my life with my husband and children, I want to keep friends and family up to date with what we are doing, I want to have a "diary" to look back on.....

I think one of the reasons why I haven't started to blog before tonight is fear. I have read so many blogs that started or ended in personal tragedy that I fear mine could be the same. I know that's totally irrational, but the thought has crossed my mind. I also fear what people will say about it, think about it, or that no one will care enough to ever read it.

So, I am putting all of those fears aside and jumping in. I'm Holly. I am married to a wonderful man (Chris) and I have three great kids (Lillian, Hope, and Jacob)! As things stand for the time being I am a Domestic Goddess! :) I get paid a huge salary of love, support, hugs, kisses and the occasional nose pick from Jacob! I go to Troy University and, THANK GOD, am almost done with my Master's degree in Adult Education. Please don't ask what I am going to do with it, because Chris and I have both come to the conclusion that we have no idea!!!

I'd have to say that most of what you will be reading will be about those 4 people I mentioned above. So, I'm gonna stop talking about me and talk about them a little! Chris, my attorney husband :), has helped to complete my world. I am so proud of him, because he works very hard for our family and loves us beyond recognition. And then there were three....Lilli came first. She's 7, and we call her #1! Hope, the big surprise, aka Little Diva, came second. She's 6, and we call her #2. Jacob is the baby. He's 17 months, and surprise surprise we call him #3! There are plans in the works for a #4. So, stay tuned for details. And believe it or not I can count. I do know that will be 4 kids. I do know that is a lot of work. And God willing, we are doing it anyways! :)

I'm not really sure if that was a simple start or not, but there it is.
