Public vs. Private

I've been going back and forth on this little issue for the past few days. I'll admit, it use to bug me when people would put their blogs private. I figured I was an open book, why couldn't they be!



I've been blogging for almost 3 years now and the "newness" of it has wore off, I find it actually difficult for me to sit down and write a post (just check out how many posts I had in October). Our boring lives could be partially at fault for that!! I've always been very cautious about mentioning our trips until we're back. But now, I'm more cautious about mentioning anything about the kiddos. I've seen to many stories recently.



Having a public blog has its advantages too... reconnecting with long lost friends, family, etc. Reading some of the most amazing stories, ever! Checking the blogs without actually having to go to them (thank you RSS feeds!) Although, that has made me completely lazy cause I hardly ever leave comments now... sorry about that!



In the end, the safety of my family won out. I know it may be an inconvenience for some, but I've decided to publicly announce we're going private!! :)



If you'd like to continue reading our epic journey through this life (which I'm sure will have movie rights one day), leave your email in the comments (or email it to me) and I'll make sure to get you added. I'm giving you a week (possibly more)!

I blame rss feed for my lack of comments as well, my reader will miss you..
