Reasoning

  Last night was date night! It was Brandon's idea to make sushi and watch our favorite t.v. show. We had all the ingredients out on the table and were ready to get rollin. Naturally, I wanted to snap a pic for my mom and grandma! I thought they'd be so proud. Right after I snapped the perfect pic... My phone froze. Then it blitzed out and the screen went black. My dear companion was no more. 

  I thought it would recover by the morning... But this morning I realized the sad truth. My phone was done. My contacts gone. Apps, gone. Pictures, gone. (Most of them anyways). The worst part of this ordeal... I journal EVERY SINGLE day. I usually write in a physical journal... But it was packed away at the start of our marriage so I entered a few days in the "notes" section of my phone. A few days turned to a few months... And now.. ALL gone! I am devastated that so many fun details of the first few months of Alexander life are lost somewhere in space. But this is a new beginning. Brandon, being the most wonderful and supportive husband in the world, encouraged me to start a blog and even helped create the title and layout. 

  Recording memories and simple events in life means so much to me. Journaling is my way of recognizing and remembering the blessings I receive each day. I will now be converting back to physically written journal entries, but will also be blogging to fill people in on the happenings of my life. I hope that this blog will give me a way to organize the clutter of thoughts in my mind and possibly inspire someone along the way.
