My thesis statement


 I don't know why my brain is hardwired to know the "main point" of something I'm being told or something I'm reading.  But it's just the way I am.  I HAVE to know... what is your main point??  What are you trying to say?  You know how everyone talked about how pointless diagramming sentences was in grade school?  Well, I loved it.  Strange as it may seem, I love dissecting the different parts of speech and knowing exactly what the main thought of a topic is.  That being said, I will attempt to put into words my objectives for starting this blog.  First and foremost, I need an outlet.  For those who know me well, I tend to stay quiet and bottle things up.  I like the idea of an interesting way to release my unimportant, yet ever-busy, rambling thoughts.  And if there is anyone out there that cares to listen, well, here you go.  Second, I need a hobby.  Plain and simple.  Hobbies are therapeutic.  Hobbies present ways to put yourself into something, give you something to look forward to, and even sometimes make a way for others to get to know you a little more and provide some common ground.  So... a blog is created.  There is now another tiny piece of another human being on the world wide web.  I have no idea what I'm doing, lol.  I'm in no way "good" at this.  I may put my readers (if any) to sleep.  But I will enjoy this newly found part of me and hope that maybe somehow, in some way, I can say something to brighten someone's day, share a smile or two, or inspire an idea.  To have a positive effect on someone's life is one of the greatest achievements a person can strive for.  Not only that, but I think as Christians it is part of our calling.  If I can do anything at all, I want to be a help to someone else.  It's who I am professionally as a nurse and it's who I want to be as a wife, mother, and friend.  That all being said, I will now quote a member from Philips, Craig and Dean as I begin this new hobby... "Let her rip, tater chip!"

  4. I am really looking forward to reading your blogs Jenny! It's so very hard to get together and spend time so maybe I can keep up with you this way. There was a time in our lives that hardly 24 hours passed between seeing each other...I do miss those days. May I also take this opportunity to say how very blessed and honored I feel to have been a part of your life and to be blessed to watch your family grow in size and in beauty! I love you my Jenny!!!!
