Welcome to Meet the Cottons

Our family photo from 2010.

We took this photo in our backyard
during Casey's two week R&R
from Afghanistan. He's in the Army.


That's our daughter Patty and our son JT.

Wow, time really does fly.
We're all a little "healthier" now!
Note to self: begin exercise program!

Hello and welcome to my new family blog, Meet the Cottons.  My name is Misty Cotton and I got the blogging bug about a year ago and created a couponing blog called The Hopkins County Couponer.  I recently decided to depart from the world of coupon blogging, but couldn't fight the urge to blog about, well, something.  Once you start blogging, it's not an easy habit to give up.  Since I love to post things on facebook (and really love reading the things other people post) I decided to try my hand at a family blog.  Facebook always feels like the teaser headline without all the juicy details.  But, a blog, on the other hand, is kind of like running into an old friend at the grocery store and having them show you a thousand tiny photos on their cell phone.  But with one very important difference: you can just "x" out of anything you're not interested in!  I hope this blog will be filled with great pictures of my kids and great stories about our lives.  I'm not going to claim that we're the most interesting folks to read about, but maybe you'll find something that amuses you!  Enjoy!  And leave lots of comments!
