Introduction

Let me be honest, I never thought that I would have a blog. I don't believe that my views on topics are exceptional or even original. I am not an authoritarian on anything. So why have I finally decided to give in and create this site? I am doing this for my family both present and future.

As my siblings have gotten older and we have become more geographically separated staying in touch electronically has been an immense help for me. I have enjoyed following my sisters' blogs and seeing the updates in their lives and the lives of my niece and nephews. So this is for them and the rest of my family.

I also have never been great at keeping a journal to chronicle the events in my life. While I don't claim this is or should be a replacement for a personal record, I hope this will at least create a partial record that my future children and grandchildren will be able to access.

I would like to thank my family for their influence to me and I hope they can enjoy/appreciate what I post here.

Welcome!!! I'm so glad you've decided to take up blogging. I'll look forward to "following" you and catching up on all your news. :)

Huzzah! This is wonderful news. I was just like you, never thought I would blog; even though I enjoyed Aubrey's blog I didn't think I could ever do it or even want to do it. Then life dramatically changed; we were expecting Spencer and moving to England...two things I knew several people would be interested in hearing about regularly. I couldn't email everyone all the time-a blog seemed like my best option. Now I love it! It has gotten easier and more fun with time. I get so excited when I have something to blog about and I get even more excited when people leave comments.

I am looking forward to your collection of goods. It will be nice to stay up-to-date with your happenings.

Love you!
Rachel
