it's my first...

Okay, so I have had this blog for over 4 years, but have never written anything. Probably because I didn't think anyone would want to read what I have to say, and partly because I didn't think I had anything to say. But I liked what my husband said in his blog (www.jasonregier.blogspot.com), "...in today's world of communication a blog is just another way to stay connected. Life is all about connections." So, I hope that whoever reads this will want to stay connected with me and my family. I know sometimes a blog can seem one-sided with me just typing out my own thoughts and musings, but I do hope that you leave comments and that you'll want to keep checking back to my posts and updates. I suppose it will mostly be my family, (and I have a lot out there, so that should be enough!) But to everyone else out there, I say keep reading, stay connected, and in your own way, keep me updated with emails, texts, twitter, blogs, phone calls, and my personal favorite...a good old-fashion handwritten note.
