Well I must say that I'm getting slightly better at this, only one month has gone by between posts instead of three. Now if I could only start updating my journal on a more frequent basis. I don't know why I still keep a journal, it's not as though life is interesting enough to write down. But I've been keeping a journal since elementary school, and a constant one since high school. I like being able to write down my thoughts and feelings somewhere private, although if the point is to keep it private, then there's really no point in writing it all down because anyone could come across it. And it's not as though I really want my children or grandchildren stumbling across them once I'm dead because let's face it, I've done some stupid things. And sometimes it's not even that I've done stupid things, I just sound stupid and childish. And do I really want my descendants to know that? No, not at all. But I'm stubborn. And seeing as how I've been journaling for so long it is now more of a habit to keep doing it. Although ever since I've gotten married I've been letting it slide something awful. But as long as I keep updating it at intervals my life should get written down well enough. I can't wait til I have babies though because I've always wanted to keep baby journals. My mom sort of started ones for us girls but she never got very far. But I think that it'd be most interesting to be able to look back and see what my thoughts were for that special person during that time and afterwards. Their first words and how soon they crawl, etc. The one thing that my mom did record was that my first word was 'teddy,' and that I said it at 4 months of age. And that they were also thinking of naming me Brianna or Alissa. Well that makes me wonder, if I had been Alissa, what would Alissa be now? Maybe nothing seeing as how she was a surprise baby in the first place. I don't want any surprise babies. 3 or 4 depending on their sex. And Steve and I already have names picked out but we can't say what they are, although I will say that it will create a sensation later on :) Oh well though, there'll be no babies for years yet. And I think that Steve is really mean to say that we can have a baby if we only move back home!
