"What? I have a Blog?"

This is what my wife is going to say when she checks her Facebook wall next time she logs on. My wife, Kassi, not only loves reading blogs, but also venerates them. Daily she pours over photography blogs (especially during our engagement), cooking blogs (ourbestbites.com), blogs of friends and family, and other well-known blogs (Nienie’s blog).

As of lately, she has been debating to create a blog of her own. You might have seen the following post on her Facebook wall:

Some are for it, and some are against it. What do I, her husband, think? I completely support her starting a blog. Why? In our old age, I would like to look back at the story of our lives. Technology has made this to be something that our grandparents never thought would be possible when they first started their marriage: a journal with text, photos, and even videos. This is one reason why I would like to surprise her with a blog. Another reason is that I am overdue to give her another surprise, and she definitely deserves one.

I am somewhat familiar with blogs. I often read business and news blogs. However, I don’t believe this fits Kassi’s type of blog. Therefore I had to do some research and so I started to visit the blogs she often visits. At one time Operation Blog Surprise was almost destroyed when Kassi poked her head around the corner to see that I was looking at a blog of a good friend of hers. I didn’t want to ruin the surprise, and so I let it create one of the greatest awkward moments that a married couple could have. Luckily Kassi had homework, and I was able to go back to the project. When she reads this, it will definitely make more sense.

These are some of the common characteristics of blogs that I discovered in my research:

• it is cute to write with no capitals. this is just not my style. Capitals make it seem more masculine.
• Kassi likes how NieNie always refer to her husband as Mr. Neilson. Should I refer myself as Mr. Henrie on her blog? Nah.
• Cute photography. Hopefully my first photo passed
• Cute Music. I posted the first two songs I dedicated to her.
• Blogs posts need to be short.

The last bullet point is important, and so I will end it quickly. I would hate to lose a reader with length. Come back in the near future to check a post that is actually done by Kassi. I will try to post as well so we could show both views in different situations. Hopefully this will add to the entertainment value to your stalking experience.  Thank you for reading.
