No really, I am.
Im new to the Wapsi Valley and Eastern Iowa.
I’m also new to blogging. I’ve just gotten my feet wet.
Some Background
I am a nearing 30 web designer/developer. I live in a sleepy eastern Iowa town with my wife and two children. After years of renting, towards late summer, we decided it was time to become home owners. We looked around a little bit in the Capital City of Des Moines and didn’t really find what we were looking for. We had always talked about living in the country, but thought that was out of the question. We finally found a place we liked in The Great Jones County. We aren’t quite in the middle of the country, but pretty darn close. We saw this house and fell in love with it. The first few months in the new place have been great. We are really taking our time getting used to our new surroundings, and with the winter months - it has been pretty uneventful. I really wanted to give a small town another try. I grew up in a tiny little town of 800 people and the place we are in now is considerably larger(8000). It’s important to me that my kids have the chance to be kids. I remember as a child, getting on my bike at 8am and not coming home until the six o’clock whistle blew. It seems those days are long gone for children, and thats a shame. I want my kids to be able to be kids. I think in a small town - the opportunity to be a kid increases greatly.
Where is this going?
I have no idea. I’ve had an itch to blog for a long time and I finally just bit the bullet and went for it. I know, you are supposed to have a plan, a goal, a niche topic. I do not have a niche topic. I have lots of interests from family, music, to DIY stuff to morel hunting and web design/development. This will be a combination of all of these things. everything neatly catagorized, of course.
