Here we go

I can't believe how fast and easy it was to create this blog! It only took a few minutes and presto, here we go! I am very excited to be taking part in such a great program and to test out a lot of things I have never done... blogging, flicker... just to name a few. I am going to encourage family members and friends to join in and do this with me, and my hopes are that some of this will lead to great ways to stay in touch with family and friends that live out of town. What better way to share pictures, experiences, etc.. I am going to experiment with this blog more later- the layout, font, and ways to make it unique. More to come soon!
