First rambling…

Well for my first rambling let me just say blogging is a first for me. We put a lot of emphasis on firsts, like our first crush, first impressions, first words, and first steps so for that reason I hope my first blog is satisfactory. You know should I wind up famous or POTUS some day I hope I won’t be embarrassed by this first post!  I decided to start writing a blog because of the many other firsts that are happening in my life right now. For the first time in 18 years I don’t have to set an alarm and go to work! I still have to work, raising 3 boys and taking care of the laundry and dishes and the dog and… well you get the idea. For the first time I get to spend an enormous amount of time at home. In a short month I will be sending two of my children off to school for the first time.  I live in a new city and find myself going to the laundry mat for the first time, riding a subway train for the first time, eating new food for the first time, finding a new church for the first time. For the first time in a long time I’m a little out of my comfort zone. Sometimes, we need a little discomfort to grow and learn so as I continue to conquer firsts I hope to also encourage others through my random thoughts and ramblings.
