bad. I know I have family members that believe blogs are only for the good stuff, and I totally get that and respect that, but for me this is the best way I can express myself with those I trust and love. I am not a perfect person, and never have claimed to be, but I am also not afraid to be who I am. I have feelings both good and bad, and truly wish to express those in an open outlet. After my parents were divorced a brick wall was put into place to protect myself from ever letting people see who I am. My sweet heart Justin has taught me that there are people in whom I can trust with my heart again. Slowly brick by brick has come down and it is nearly down. I think there will always be a reserve wall but for now I am willing to be open and share with you all of my thoughts. I hope that you will be open and honest with me in your comments. Thanks for all the love and support you have given to Justin and I! We truly wouldn't have invited you if we were not willing to let you into our lives.

The purpose behind the brick wall
I have been thinking about making our blog private for a long time. Mostly because I don't want my dads family to read it and also because I want to be able to express my thoughts without the whole world knowing it. I plan on being very open on this blog, and using it as an outlet for all family events, all life Lylia, all life Justin and all life me, and oh and all life drama. Be it good or

I think it's great that you are going to express what is really going on. Those who would judge you just need to get over it. You are your own person and if you need to write to work things out, then I don't think there is anything wrong with that. And I don't blame you for not wanting Dad's family to read. That's why I got another blog too. love you!
Thanks Jennifer! I appreciate your words so much!
I was kind of surprised to see you go private, but good for you for doing what you felt was best for you and your family. Everyone deserves a safe place to vent and share.
I really like the way you've been blogging lately. It feels more natural, not forced. And you are getting very creative in finding interesting pictures to add :-). Of course the family pictures are always my favorites =D
We love you too! Xoxoxo (redeemable next visit)
Let loose Kelly! We love you! Hearing you vent about stuff makes me feel like I'm normal! Lets rant together about things we need to rant about! I miss getting to do that with you in person!!
Thanks for inviting me. I love reading your updates on your blog. I can't believe that you're so far away now, instead of just up the street. I'm so glad to have blogs as a way to keep in touch!
I wonder sometimes too how much of my personal feelings I should put on my blog. Sometimes I think about making my family blog public, because I love reading random blogs and would love the opportunity to get to know new people, and share my life with more of my friends. Sometimes, though, it seems like I can't put the way I really feel on the blog because I know who's reading it. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but then I think, "It's my blog. I should be able to write what I want." I haven't quite figured out that balance, so my blog is mostly about the little day to day events of our lives.:)
Who are all these people who think that we should only show others the pretty, rose smelling part of our lives? Oir their lives like that all the time?!? I know hoe you feel though. After I write a blog post I often have Jason read it and he tells me who will probably be offended by some subtle thing. But I'm learning slowly to get over it and to write more of what I feel. I'm excited to get to hear more about your life! I really like those people in our family who do this. It makes me feel more connected to everybody. (and jason only tells me cause I ask- he's not just doog it to be nit picky;)
