The Inevitable Truth

Ugh. I've been avoiding this post for awhile now so I'm just gonna come out and say it. I have failed. With a big fat F. I now have the utmost respect for anyone who has started and completed a project like this. I did not want this to be just another resolution that started strong then got forgotten and swept under the rug. But just like childbirth, breast feeding and having a newborn...I was completely naive to the reality of it. It seemed so easy. Take a photo every day for a year and upload it to this blog. Maybe if I had allowed myself to use other cameras (not just my professional one) I would have had a better chance of success. I don't like to carry it around with me everywhere I go. For one I'm always slightly paranoid something would happen to it. And more than that it was just a big clunky heavy extra thing to carry when I'm already loaded down like a pack mule taking Max anywhere. Once I started missing a lot of consecutive days I figured I had a choice to make. Fake it and just take a bunch of photos one day and say I took them the other days. Or just come clean (with myself mostly) and admitt I was done. So here we are. I don't want to delete this blog so I've decided to use it as a way to document this crazy life. I love reading all kinds of blogs but for some reason the ones about family, marriage, kids and homes keep me coming back. There are so many exciting things coming up for Jesse, Max and I (home ownership, traveling, baby number 2???) and I want to share them with the world. So on to the next thing :)
