The Beginning

This will be my first post.  Isn't it funny that my husband had to force me to write...most people write blogs because of their own motivation...not me.  I write because I love my husband, who would love to write a blog, but due to his never ending thoughts would never be able to wrap up his first post.  How's that for ironic, the woman who has to be forced to start a first post has a blog, but her husband who has constant "blog post material" running through his head doesn't.  Well here it goes...

It's all in the name.  I named my blog, "So I had an idea" due to many late night conversations with my driven, passionate husband, Tim.  Most nights as we get settled into bed Tim says, "So, I had an idea."  For some, these conversations happen rarely, some more frequently than others, and for us almost nightly and definitely weekly.  I'm married to a man who's mind never stops trying to find a way to make a difference, make something better, tap into unrealized potential.  You know the type, just think Lewis from Disney's Meet the Robinsons or Rodney from Twentieth Century Fox's, Robots.   My daughter and I often joke about how these two cartoon characters ARE Tim.  This blog will help me articulate what it is like being married to this "type" of man and how God uses our family through both of our unique personalities, gifts, and talents.

Well, short and sweet. That wasn't too bad.  And by the way I wasn't joking when I said my husband forced me to write.  When I came to bed he had the laptop set up on my side of the bed ready for me to start typing and said, "Okay, I have it all ready for you, now you can write your first post."  Well, maybe "forced" is an exaggeration.

Tomorrow I will write my second post...which is really what Tim wanted me to post..."So, God had an idea."
