blogging... a new world

I guess I had better jump on the blogging bandwagon and get this thing started.... I feel like I am from another planet and the last alien to have my own blog. As my sister and friends have informed me.... everyone has one of these and I must post my life to the world! So therefore I guess I will give it a try. However, secretly (for quite some time now) I have enjoyed looking at and reading my friends blogs. I feel somewhat connected to them even though I live thousands of miles away.
