Ever Changing and Never Perfect

So I've decided to start a blog. I've been thinking about it for a while because I have so many friends who now live in other cities, countries, and continents. While I enjoy reading about their day to day lives, they know absolutely nothing about what is going on with us. So yes, it's yet another networking tool. What did we do before computers, internet, and cell phones? I also wanted a place to chronicle random stories that may not be remembered otherwise.

However, I've been putting off starting a blog because I'm a perfectionist. I knew that I would want it to look just right with the cutest background and most fun fonts. I also knew that it would take me a long time to get everything just right.

Well, I sat down this afternoon to get it all set, and I learned several things:
1) Blogs can get super expensive! I found some cute backgrounds for free, but I thought I wanted something a little more fun. I found sites that would sell their apparently amazing blog templates for anywhere from $25 to upwards of $100! That's when I decided that I would just stick with my freebie background. Granted, I couldn't find a matching banner for the title and I think the font is boring, but I'll live.
2) Like almost anything else involving the internet, a blog can be super time consuming! I just spent way too much time trying to find a background and banner. The really sad thing is that after all the searching, I stuck with the one I had picked out at the beginning...
3) My blog can be a process. I can change it as I want to and it doesn't have to be perfect right away- or ever...

So here's to my ever-changing, never perfect, attempt to keep up with friends... Blog. :)
