I have been saying for months now that I need to start back blogging. I even went as far as to log in and clean out the old stuff with the hope of starting fresh as of January 1. As you can see, it is now April 9th… only for another hour and twenty. Let’s see where this takes me…
I am not entirely certain what I want this blog to contain. It was started in a (failed) effort to have one spot where the entire world could come for an update on us, the Gowdys. However, life happened, as it normally does. I certainly have not had a lot of time since my last semester of school started, my boss/father-in-law got sick for the entire month of February, and tax season. Who knew life could be so, uh… busy?
The last three weekends alone have been fun-filled with various family outings. First there was the Carolina Cup – which our family only misses when the weather is poor, but this year was beautiful. The first in five years that I can recall where the weather did not make you want to find a shelter from the elements. Our family actually goes with the hope of seeing the races, unlike other patrons or the popular assumptions by those who do not attend. I will admit there is a lot of drinking and a lot of people… however, the front row has never been a real ‘party scene’ and thankfully, that has allowed for good drinks, good times, good family/friends, and good races!
Last weekend was Easter; and as many do, I hit the road to the small town of Westville… just a 12 mile drive from Camden to join the rest of the family in the gorge fest that was prepared. D and I have always ‘split’ holidays or rotated… this year Easter with my family, next year with his… it is hard on us since a lot of holidays his family does not do much celebrating. My family, on the other hand, seems to always be looking for some event to pull the clan together. Anyway…
I will definitely get into more ‘blogging’ later. From what I’ve seen and read of others’ blogs, this should be an open forum, of sorts, for me to share all that is ‘me’ or ‘my life’. I guess in other words it means “Look out, another crazy person looking to share way too much information has created another blog.”
Well, lucky for you the washer has finished and I now need to move the comforter that B so merrily peed on early to the dryer. The world never stops with a 2 year old. Thank goodness she’s only my niece AND I only have her for the night. Kids… haha, something we will probably discuss here at a later date.
Good night world! Catch ya later
