Easter Weekend

I have gotten some requests to tell my horrific story about a recent blind date I recently went on. I think I will refrain from telling the story for now as I am still recovering from the experience.

Easter has always been a somber holiday for me because it marks the end of the holiday season. It began last fall with Thanksgiving, I went home to see my family and friends and partake in a bountiful meal my saintly mother prepared for our family.

Family is important to me and it always has been. I value the time I spend with them because I know that when I graduate from college I might take a job that will require me to move out of North Dakota. I frequently call home and talk to Mama Van Dyke. She knows everything about me and she keeps me grounded and focused from 120 miles away.

When you are eating Easter dinner with your family, step back at take a gander from the outside looking in and count your blessings.

Right now, I am a bit flustered. Not because this was hard to set up or anything like that, but because I have been looking at some other blogs recently and they are so witty and fun to read. Now I feel the pressure to come up with some thing smart to say. Not much just a little quip or a funny quote/story. There are so many things that I would like to say right now, so many ideas running through my mind, however when I am trying to type them, they don't come out they way I planned.
I sort of knew what I wanted to write for my debut blog, now I am not so sure. I could talk about my life as a studly, single man in Minot or maybe a recent blind date I went on. (not fun) Possibly I could tackle some major issues such as the presidential elections or rising gas and oil prices.
Hhmmmm well five minutes have gone by and I think even though this is my first official blog, this is pretty decent. Now instead of being flustered and nervous, I am filled with accomplishment, pride and hunger. I feel like I am ready to rival the top bloggers in the country. This was fun :)
