Reasons

Here's the deal. Tom and I have been talking, for quite some time, about how much useless time we spend on facebook. We don't really "enjoy" facebook, but somehow get sucked into checking it too many times per day for too long each time. Whenever we would try to figure out what to do about it, though, we'd despair because we'd realize that facebook is currently the easiest and most comprehensive way to keep track of people and stay in touch. "Is it really a good idea to sever that line, especially while we're already in a different country" we'd say? Finally, though, since the desire has persisted, we decided that we would, indeed, forsake facebook, but at the same time would dive head first into blogging. I plan to re-dedicate myself to my existing blog and Tom plans to start his own. We're actually really excited about this!

From now on, my blog is going to be less focused on photos and instead, will be for just anything I decide to post on it. I will still try to put all of my favorite photos on the blog, but I'll also have posts that are just for updates and just for opinions. I already have a pretty big list of possible posts! And here they come!
