Introductions

Link was born August 3, 2010, after a little over 38 hours of labor. He was 10 pounds, 4 ounces, and 21 inches long. From the instant I saw him I knew that he was the most handsome thing I had ever laid eyes on -- aside from my husband, that is. =0)

After spending about a month at home, we decided that it was time for me to get back to working, so I got a job at Culver's, a quick-service restaurant (meaning, slower than McDonald's but faster than Applebee's). After a year there, I decided the hours and pay were awful for my family, so I switched to a local, independently-owned coffee shop. After a little over a month, it seemed to make more sense to us (both financially and as parents) for me to stay at home with Link.

So, beginning Dec. 1st, I will be a stay-at-home mom. And that's really what this blog is about. I don't expect anyone outside of my family to read this, but being as my degree is in writing, I figured this would be a good outlet for me to practice my craft.

I hope that this blog will help me stay sane, maybe help a soul or two that stumbles on here, or just serve as a fun memory for me to share with Link someday.

Well, I guess I'll have to work on some sort of finale to each blog post, but until then...
