New Blog: 3 Excuses

Hello, world!

Recently, I have spent a lot of time trying to decipher what are the "best" things to do with my time, because there are always too many "good" things to be able to do all of them. A blog always seemed like one of those "good" things, but maybe not one of "best" things. (As you may have noticed), I have recently changed my mind, and am FINALLY starting a blog. Here's why:

1. This is the first time I've really lived far away from my immediate family and friends. Keeping a blog (and assuming they're reading it) will help me feel connected to them. And, (if they do read it) they can stay better connected to me and my family by knowing what is going on with us.

2. I want to share a lot of pictures, videos, and bragging-like news of Carson without flooding the Facebook feeds of everyone who doesn't care to see them. This will also serve as a good history of our lives since even though I keep a journal, it doesn't have those pictures and videos previously mentioned.

3. My "last but not least" reason is a quote I read recently from Pres. Uchtdorf: "The Lord...entrusts a testimony of the truth to those who will share it with others."I hope this blog will be a good way for me to think about and share the things that remind me that God lives and loves us.

I will try to keep the posts interesting and optimistic. If you're lucky, you might even hear from Taylor every now and again.

To start things off, here's a picture of our accomplished pianist:
