Change

I have been thinking about this blog and even more about this blog post, a lot.
So much that I have six, yes, six post drafts that I have been trying to complete all on the subject I am about to talk about. 
Truth is, I started this blog as a continuation of Preston's baby book, and strictly a scrapbook to document new, exciting, and funny things Preston has done.

But, I want more. 

I want this blog to be something that he will cherish when he is older.  Something that he can say "This is from my mom"
Of course I will continue posting all the wonderful things he does on a daily bases and gushing over how much I love him and cant get enough of him, but I am also going to post about things that make me, me.  Issues that our family goes through, the good and the bad. 

I can confidently say that my mom and my dad are two of my best friends.  If you would have told me those words would be coming out of my mouth a few years ago I would have said you were nuts.  But it's true.  I can, and do, go to my parents about almost everything.  I ask for advice, and they give it to me.  Not just advice I want to hear, but the raw truth.  I could ask my parents for help if I needed it, and I know that they would do everything in their power to help me and our family.  I can count on them, and that is a great feeling.  My mom is my mentor, and she is who I look to for answers.  With all that being said, I always wonder how they got to be the people they are today.  How did they make it through life, and all that encompasses that word.  I want to know, I long to know.  I hope and pray that we will be those people one day for Preston.  I hope that he can read through this blog and take something away from it to help himself in the future. 

And that is why this blog is changing.

I have so much I want to tell him, on so many different levels, and I can't wait to let it all out on Hodges Inc.
