Blogsomnia

Blogsomnia, that's what my sister called it. Defined as: "the posting of thoughts on the internet whilst one is unable to sleep". Bloggy leads to soggy. That's how I feel. Do you ever lay awake at night thinking of so many things you want to say or write in your blog, and then can't fall asleep? Maybe it would be good to have a laptop on my bedstand so I could type them down when I think of them. Well today, my brain feels like mush, I'm so tired. I'm struggling with writing in my blog -- some of you might have noticed I don't write much, I like to share pictures with few words. Maybe it's because I know others will be reading it and I hold back a bit. But this whole blogging thing has been really great for me (if I can keep it in balance), because I haven't been good at writing in my journal since my mission, and I definitely don't scrapbook. I usually send the pictures to Costco and then they sit. This way, I'm doing something with them and keeping an account of the things we do as a family and how it influences us. So with a lot on my mind this week of the past family reunion experiences we've just had, I've decided to do what the song says and "Say what you need to say". Even though it might be boring to some and only mean something to us, that's okay. Wow, that feels good, I've never just vented like that on my blog yet!

I like that phrase Blogsomnia. I feel like my mind is always thinking of the next thing I could write about. But I agree, it's good for me too. I've never been so good at capturing the little moments as I am now that I blog!

Heidi,
I was so happy to hear from you and to be able to read your blog and see your cute family. It has been so long since we have seen you all! I am so glad for blogging so that I can catch up with everyone and feel more apart of each others lives. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to pictures from your Neslen reunion!

I get so many ideas (usually at around 3 am) that I end up not posting anything but what is obviously needed because that's what I've got pictures of! I love your blog.
