Another reason for this blog is...

...that it's about time that us seminary wives started representin'. I've spoken about this with a few of my fellow sisters-in-the-bookcase-lined-trenches, but the time to post on it has come. Not that there's anything particularly wrong with all our husbands' blogs; I try to keep up with all their posts on a regular basis.

But why should our guys be hoggin' the bandwidth? Hello?

Thank you, Jessie, for blazing the trail. I've enjoyed what you've posted so far, and I can't wait to see where you go with your blog.

And I KNOW that some of you other ladies have thoughts and ideas that need to be spelled out, thought through, and posted on the internet for, well, anyone and everyone to see (not necessarily my favorite part.) Sure, you could just speak these ideas, but don't you get frustrated with the clumsiness of your lips sometimes? And you could be keeping a private journal, but then I miss out on reading about your experiences and learning about your point of view.

Sure, blogging is impersonal on the macro scale, but maybe it could help you become more personally involved with the people around you. Maybe.
