I spent quite a long time not even really knowing what a blog is. Once I figured out what it was, I couldn't imagine why anybody would want to do it. I thought blogs seemed time intensive and slightly annoying in the way that people put their stuff out there for everybody to read and see. I'm a pretty serious journal writer (even though it has been a few months), so I understand the part about having an outlet--writing things down, etc. But, I felt like blogs were a little more, I don't know, like bragging or something.
But, since our move to Iowa City, I have been thinking about a good way to keep in touch with family and friends. A blog seemed like an appropriate way to share our pictures without plugging up people's inboxes and to let people know how we're doing. Maybe sometimes some of you can write back and let us know how you are. We prefer real letters in the mail (or even e-mail) or real visits when possible, but we'll take what we can get.
I don't have high expectations for me keeping up with this thing, but I'll try to post pictures here and there and share a few stories . . . every day at the Mergenthaler house is an adventure--especially lately. For the most part, we have a lot of fun together. I love my family and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be in the world than with my sweet husband and wonderful children (except for maybe a trip with just my sweetheart for a few days).
So, here's the blog. It will be mostly pictures with little descriptions.
I can't believe I'm actually doing this . . .
