Blogging 101

So, I decided that I would give this blogging thing a shot. We miss our families and friends so much, I was thinking this is one more 'electronic' way we can keep in touch, and keep everyone updated on what's going on in our lives. I mean, when you talk to someone after a long period of time, you never remember to mention the mundane, everyday things that happen...like "Oh, on the way to work, I spilled my coffee in the car." So, I'm hoping this can be the place that I put info like that so I don't have to remember later!

I'm not totally sure I'll keep up with this, but I thought it was worth a try. It seems a bit like journaling - which I have never really been good with. I am always more excited about picking out the cute journal, then write in it for maybe a week at the most, before it just turns into a really nice, blank notebook. So, I got the background set up on this thing (not as fun as buying a journal, and I discovered I am not as computer savvy as I thought)!!

So, welcome to all of you who decided to come read this. If you follow my posts at all, you should discover certain things about me: I love Fridays, a lot of my day-to-day entertainment revolves around the funny things our pets do, I love Seth, I am a very happy person, I am quite nerdy (and proudly so) when it comes to discussing things like geology, I type in 'stream of consciousness' and don't always re-read what I write, and I use A LOT of commas and parentheses! Oh, and exclamation points!
