Behind the Times

I have been putting off putting together a blog website for my family for about four or five months now, but I have finally gotten myself into gear and have started one. Now...the hard part...what do people want to know about me and my family?

I read this on a friend's blog (Thanks Erika!), things should be kept light and simple, so I guess I will just keep things pretty basic. John and I have been married for almost one whole year now! And we have a wonderful daughter who just turned three in August and a fabulous dog who turned 7, also in August.

Our daughter, Carson Olivia, is just full of herself. I am sure, some people are like, "Carson, for a girl?" and we actually meaning behind that name. When I was pregnant with Carson, my Aunt was fascinated with the whole "Bennifer" and "Bradgelina" phase and she decided that our baby needed a name like that. So she took the first syllable of my last name "Car" and the last syllable of John's last name "son" and so we have Carson. I know it might be somewhat of a stretch, but it does mean something to John and I and I guess that is all that matters.
