Late night blogging...

Sometimes I feel like my blog is not very "informative" of the world and happenings outside of me and my little life here in Georgia...However, when I started blogging, I did not make promises of being cultured and educated while assuring you that I would blog with strong and sensible opinions on just about everything under the sun:p So I'm giving a small shrug here when I say "Do any of you ever feel like this?" Just a thought I've been meaning to ask:)

I thought I'd take a break from my running posts today and venture into posting the reasons of how and why I got into blogging! But first, what brought me to this post?

I read all of your blogs daily and think about each of your lives as I finish reading the most recent post of your day. With each blog, it always brings me to the question of, How did you all get here and what made you decide to start writing to cyber space anyhow? So please, feel free to answer the above:p So while I await your comments and continue to wonder "this" about you, I thought I'd share this (curious) information about me:p

Okay so I have to go back to mid March where my sister sends me a text telling me about this magazine called Military Spouse she found at an FRG meeting. I had been married to the military Robert for a little over two months at this point and was really feeling discouraged about not meeting any military wives yet...I guess I had visions of moving down here and instantly becoming the newest addition into their flock:p Well, needless to say and yet to their credit as I really didn't put myself out there, this didn't happen. So I go online to subscribe to this magazine and find the hidden world of a military wives forum! I was stoked to say the least...This was exactly what I had been looking for! I instantly became a member and posted my first thread, introducing myself and my location, hoping to get a bite from another Ft. Benning wife...This, also, did not happen...Well, I now like to think of this site as a stepping stone into bigger better uncharted waters...BLOGGER! I noticed a girl on there who, after every thread or comment, left a funny looking Internet address...Out of shear boredom I followed that address and found myself on her blog. After some snooping around and finding that, through her followers and then their followers, I had stumbled onto a HUGE military wife loopool! A light bulb came on at that point and I was off like a big assed bird...48 hours later I had my very own little piece of cyber space...So great! Now what...How do you make friends ? How do you get people to fallow your blog? Better yet, how do you fallow other people's blogs:p Well that's all here nor there, as we can all see I figured it out, but I'd just like to say "thank you all for allowing me to read and follow along in your lives as you do the same in mine...I have found WONDERFUL friends/blogs that I so enjoy reading...You all have become a much needed highlight of my day and I can't believe I've been missing out this entire time!
So I indirectly just answered why I got into blogging as well as how. But allow me to clarify the why; I simply started blogging because I wanted to make friends, even if that meant friends thousands of miles away and conversation only through the glow of a computer screen...I also wanted to share my excitement about being a newlywed to one of the most honest, hardworking, kind, loving, everyday American/soldier out there! I love to write, read, laugh and learn...Blogger is great for that! But mostly I wanted to make friends; and that I have, so every new reason I blog is just an added bonus...On a final note, looking back, I never imagined that I'd become an inspired runner by simply be-friending you all. I also never saw myself learning to do this, HA! Let alone this Boo yeah! I've managed to aquire 39 bloggie buddies in less then two months and that is so flattering might I say...No truely...So one more "THANK YOU!" before bed and I'm off! I shall see all your lovely faces blogs in the morning:) You're going to be so tired of this strike through thing before its over:p BWAH HA HA!
