In the beginning...

So, I have been blogging off and on for the past year, but nothing serious and mostly for school. This week I will finish my Master's and decided since I have so much extra time on my hands (hence the sarcasm) that I would start another blog, one for friends and family. Just to keep everyone updated on the happenings in our life, and especially since there will soon be another Painter on this earth. I'm not going to make any promises towards blogging everyday, but I do promise to blog often. This will probably end up being a stress reliever for me, and hopefully a source of amusement for you. I will share things going on in the Painter household, things that are bothering me, and probably more than you care to read, so stay tuned....
