Hermione was looking at Harry, and he was glad that his face was hidden in shadow. He read the words on the tombstone again. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. He did not understand what these words meant. - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007)

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. -Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)

Welcome

I'm most likely a latecomer to this venue, but I've been prompted by my friend, Jodi, to start a blog - just as she prompted me to join Facebook later than most.  As compared to Facebook (which invites concise, rapid bulletins), I think that a blog may better suit me because of the opportunity it presents to post thoughtful, although not necessarily cerebral, musings in prose.

So where do I begin?  So much has happened in my 35 plus years of life that I feel as though I am beginning a chronological story in the middle.

The recent birth of my first child, Abraham Willard Evans, on June 17, 2010 seems appropriate given that he will likely play a prominent role in future postings. 
He's 6 months old as shown here at the start of 2011 - his second calendar year of life!

Of course, credit for Abraham's existence is equally due to his father, the love of my life, Scott Kenneth Evans.  So perhaps the beginning is better placed here:
We were married on March 16, 2001 - nearly ten years ago.  Since then it's been a wonderful, rollicking, adventure-filled journey.

Or maybe the only real option, and probably the best, is simply to embrace the future and to attempt to chronicle some small portion of where it takes us.  As they say, "Enjoy the ride."
