So, here I am.  I’ve had it in my heart for some time to finally start a blog. But, I’m a procrastinator when it comes to things I know I need to do for me.  I kept telling myself, “I’ll start it next week, when I actually have something good to talk about.” If you’re like me, then you already know how that worked out. (Insert guilty goofy emoticon face here.)  It’s been pretty close to a year now since I had that first inkling inside.

I shared this “inkling” a time or two with my fantastic husband, Mr. Director Man. Mr. Director Man is my best friend.  We, like any normal couple, naturally have had our ups and downs, our joys and failures, blah blah blah… but one thing is certain, he’s always been there to listen to me and push me to be a better me.  I’m not saying that this stubborn woman that I am always listens to him when he tries to help me be a “better me,”  but God knew I needed a man like him in my life to at least try.  Sometimes I do listen, and I’m always thankful for it in the end.

He is the reason why I’m here writing this.  After my last emotional meltdown of insecurities, he reminded me of the inkling and said I should start, like now.  I may or may not have rolled my eyes at him when he wasn’t looking.  (Sorry, honey.) Of course I still didn’t do anything about it.

Remember how I was telling you about how fantastic he is? Well, Mr. Director Man wasn’t going to let me get away with the procrastination thing this time.  He’s been making some changes to his own blog recently, and told me that he was going to set one up for me too while he was at it.  No excuses now. (Thank you for loving me, mister.)

He literally handed the laptop to me and said, “get writing.”

UGHHHHHH. I love that man.  I know God created me for so much more than I think I am. I’m thankful for an amazing husband who believes in me.  Our three handsome boys "Tweenage Man Child,” “Pumpkin,” and “Stinky Pants” all believe in me too.  Now I guess it’s time that I start believing me.  Deep breath.  I can do this.
