Blog Book

I have been saying it forever and now I am actually doing it. I am making a book out of my blog. I've always known that at some point I wanted to find a way to put my blogs into a book for safe keeping and as a sort of "baby book" for aiden. That's why I had the blog in the first place...

The problem has been actually finding a way to do that. I found the software needed to upload all my blogs into a sort of database and then put them in book form. The only problem is it is INCREDIBLY time consuming. I started putting the book together over a week ago and I cannot even tell you how many hours I have spent on it. Way too many but I am on page 55 of the book. That sounds far but it's not This is going to be the world's longest book. I should have started this a long long long time ago. In the book, I am up to January of 2008...in other words, aiden's not even born yet! I was so proud last night I got like 6 pages done and I was done with christmas of 2007 and our chicago trip and I came in and told ben I was done for the night and he was like  "are you all caught up?" ummm no......

Anyways it is going to take me many more months to complete the book since I have roughly 2 more YEARS to go but when it is done it is going to be absolutely AWESOME! I am very excited about what a cool keepsake this is going to be for us and for aiden. It's like a scrapbook/photo album/ journal all in one.

What I have seen so far is absolutely amazing. I wish I had something like this to go back and look at and read. This is going to be an amazing keepsake.
