Here I am.

A few days ago, a friend of mine mentioned she started blogging as a way to stay in touch with her family all over the country. The idea of having a place to jot down the little stories of my life, comment on the world and occasionally vent is tempting. I'm not sure anyone will read it, and not sure I want anyone to read it, but that keeps it interesting. Little did I know I had to name my blog. Jason and I came up with a laundry list of hokey titles that I'd be embarrassed to put here. The View from The Hill. Lau-lights and High-lights. Mom of 3 Monkeys. And those were some of the good ones. Yikes.

I settled on I Absolutely Do. If any of you were at my wedding, you may remember that phrase. As he stood next to me in front of everyone, he declared more than the usual "I do". It's his line. He's letting me use it. It was his way of saying he completely and without hesitation was committing himself to me and our marriage. I strive for that kind of unquestioning sure confidence in my life. I absolutely do.
