Well that feels better!

Many have been wondering why I switched my blog to private, so here is the explanation. I could see, through my sitemeter, that there were people getting to my blog through a search engine in Kenya, and when I went to that page, my blog was listed on a drop down menu!! I have no idea how that happened, but it was enough to freak me out! I use this blog (for the most part) as a way to record childhood memories for my kids, and I don't need people in Kenya, or who knows where, keeping up with my kids. While I've always tried to be careful when posting pictures, and haven't given too much info out about where we live, or our last name, etc. it has always kind of bothered me that my kids' lives are out there for the whole world to see. On the other hand, I've gotten to know so many wonderful people through their own blogs, and if they had had private blogs, I would have missed out on some great "cyber" friends! I really do treasure my friendships with all of you, whether we know each other in person or not, and I hope you will continue reading now that I've gone private. :) Who knows, maybe I will switch back to public sometime, but I feel like this is where I need to be for right now.
