A blogger friend of mine, JESS asked that question on her blog today, and below is a portion of the answer I posted to HER blog! :)
Well my "friend", why do I blog? It started as a way to keep in touch with out of town relatives and friends - a way to share photos and what's happening in our day to day lives. Quicker than an e-mail to everyone, and easier and more fun to add pictures! I'd love to scrapbook, but would go BROKE doing it, so blogging it was! I entered the world of blogging when led to a CaringBridge site of a young girl who eventually lost her battle with leukemia :( not FUN reading, but real life. Then I found nitty.gritty jody whose story was compelling and I was HOOKED! :) In the past 6 months or so, blogging has brought me on a CRAZY journey. The journey that brought many friends my way! :) Friends who I may never meet this side of ETERNITY, but FRIENDS in CHRIST all the same! There's you and Jen, Raechel and Heaven, Liz and Lorri, Aimee and Hilary to name a few - ALL of you beautiful ladies brought TO me THROUGH the wonderful world wide web! And as CRAZY as the last 6 months have proven to be in the "blog-sphere", I wouldn't change it for the world. God has brought some wonderful ladies into my life. "Girlfriends in God" who I can't wait to meet someday - either here or on the other side of glory! :) I've gained a new respect for TRUTH as I've seen the "ugly" side of blogging, though even through that, GOD has been faithful . . . HE does not put any situation before me that HE hasn't first ordained, and I will continue to pray for those situations that have appeared in the world's eyes to be "mistakes" - because MY GOD doesn't make mistakes! :)

So, in a nutshell, that is WHY I blog! I enjoy it, it's relaxing to me, it's a stress reliever, and did I mention, I ENJOY IT! :) I don't enjoy some of the drama that I've seen over the past couple of months, but, still, I enjoy it (oh, I've already said that?)! :) And as Jess said on her blog, if you find a blog you don't like, that's easy, DON'T READ IT!! :)
I LOVE MY AUNTIE TESSA ♥

I LOVE that comment! I'm so thankful that this whole bloggy world has indeed made us IRL friends. :) It is such a blessing to 'meet' and get to know others through an outlet such as this. And thankfully, we've become very close and I've been so blessed by you and your amazing family! So, for that, I THANK YOU!!! :)
GOOD blog! And, I agree, I'm thankful we met too and I can't wait to meet you either here or THERE!
