A Short Explanation

I really haven't been the best about posting lately. It was so nice to enjoy some time off from work to get some things done, spend time with Seth and family, and relax. Yesterday, I got back into the swing of things at work and have been super busy.

Plus, now it seems I have come down with some mysterious headache/backache/stomach ache plague. So, in the interest of getting better quickly and not being miserable (or making those around me miserable), I have been doing some major relaxing laying around doing nothing whenever possible.

I am well enough to read other people's blogs right now, just not well enough to write things on mine.

Blahhh.

Did I Really Break Down and Do This?!

Seriously, I think everyone in the free world has started to blog. Every time I sit down at my computer, I'm pretty sure someone else has begun--which only means I spend that much more time reading blogs each night.

I swore to myself several years ago that I would never, under any circumstances, begin to blog. But then I got married, got a new job, bought a house, made plans to get a puppy (etc, etc...)...and went against everything I believe in.

My job tends to involve quite a bit of writing, so it only seems normal that I would keep people updated on what is going on in the life of the Rans, especially since many of our family members don't live near us.

So, here it is! I'll be frank right now: I could very well hate this in a few weeks and back out, so don't be shocked. :)
