My Life

So, I decided to write a post about the title of my blog. I have always had a thing for oxymorons and such, and one of my favorites has been Organized Chaos. As I thought about what to name my blog I thought about my life and I realized that organized chaos perfectly descibes the life I live. When Craig saw the title he as well said, "I like that. That's us, isn't it."
My life has always been prone to such organized chaos I think, but I have been assured of this since getting married and having children. To give an example, if any person outside of my family were to walk into my house they would find the very basics in a pretty basic location. You could probably find the silverware without much trouble and the linens are in the linen closet. But as things get less basic and more individualized, things also seem to get more chaotic. The funny thing is, I tend to develop a subconscience OCD kind of system about our stuff. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of rhyme or reason to it all, but if someone moves something too far, I may go crazy trying to find it.
Also, I think simply having children denotes some kind of organized chaos. Little children can by their nature be chaotic at times, and yet the design from our Father in Heaven of having children and bringing them into this world to love, teach and cherish them is quite organized.
So, I just thought I would share with you all the thought process involved in choosing my blog name and answer any questions as to the oddity of myself and my life. I am happily who I am!

I have overturned my stumbling block

Yes, it is true, I have finally figured out (at least to some degree) blogger and how to create my layout! Boy did it take me long enough! As I watched more and more friends jump on the blogspot bandwagon it gave me a little more motivation to figure this thing out. So, here I sit at just past midnight happily proclaiming myself victorious. I have officially started my blog! For all who may be interested, I am horrible at keeping up with these kinds of things, but I am going to try. Feel free to keep in touch with us and I will do my best to keep you updated on the happenings of our little family. Well, that is all for now. I am off to cuddle with my wonderful pillow!
