I debated what I wanted to do with the blog. With our other blog, I'm very careful with what I put on there. My rule of thumb is if I don't want the general public to be able to see it, then it shouldn't go on the blog. I never talk about vacations before hand, I'm careful with pictures of our house and the neighborhood, etc, etc. I don't want to make it too easy for a stalker to find us. I didn't feel comfortable with the idea of posting our travels on our blog while we were still traveling.
I'm always surprised what information I can find on peoples blog. Addresses, naked pictures of kids, schedules including vacations and lots more. While it's nice to see what my friends are up to, if someone untrust worthy came across that, you just made their job that much easier. While the chances of that happening are slim, I would rather not take the chance.
After going through all of the options, I decided that creating a seperate private blog that's just for family and a few friends was the best option. That way I can still blog about it as it is happening and I feel better that I'm not annoucing to the world to come rob our house or something. This blog will eventually go public, so all of our friends can see it, but for now it's private.
The only thing I would ask is keep that in mind if you link this blog on your own. Be careful as what you link it as. Try to name it as something generic that doesn't announce we aren't in the country right now. In return, I will do my best to keep this as updated as possible. Deal? :)

Deal! Have you guys already left yet?
Kacie and I just started watching a program on BBC America called "Being Human." It's a show about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who all live in a house in Bristol! As corny as the premise sounds, it's actually a pretty good show. And knowing that that's where you guys will be, it makes it all the more fun.
is it a drama or sitcom or what. It does sound pretty bad. Does the toothfairy come visit?
