One of the things I love and miss most about blogging is having a beautiful record of all the wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) things that have happened in our lives. For the better part of 3.5 years I kept a record of all the great things going on in our lives, which is part of the reason I've wanted to pick up blogging again. But also for the nearly 2.5 years in between I've been saying I'm going to print out my blog and yet I somehow never got around to it, and yet I've still always wanted to have a copy of it.
So here it is almost 3 years later and I finally took the time to set them up and ordered the books. Unfortunately they're not as cheap as say a shutterfly album is and there really is only one or two sites you can order a blog from that kept the formatting in tact. So when a 50% off coupon rolled around I knew it was too good to pass up so I bit the bullet and ordered them. I created and ordered an additional 3 books to cover my whole original blog so I've got it all on paper now.
I'm hoping that one day when we have kids I'll be able to share the memories of our lives with them, and who knows maybe even our grandkids one day. I know I would have loved to have the same kind of record or stories about my grandparents. Heck I wish I even had pictures or recipes. I'm sure that won't be the case going forward with all the social media, and our whole lives being captured online.
I'm looking forward to getting the copies of the books in the mail, mostly so I can have them for my records and so they're not lost in the virtual world forever, sometimes you can't beat a good old fashioned hard copy book for some things! Can't wait to see how they turned out, I'm sure my Mom will want to read them at least.
