Let the blogging begin!!

So after MANY (well, 3 1/2 to be exact) years of wanting to create a blog that highlights the many glamorous and not so glamorous events of our daily lives, I am finally taking a stab at it.  Thanks so much to Dedra for her help and patience in getting me started.  Many posts will simply be great snapshots of our everyday lives and some, of course, will have deeper meaning to them.  I have so enjoyed following many friends (and complete strangers) on their blogs...sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes already knowing whats gonna be on the blog but wanting to look anyway.  After attending a funeral for an entire family tragically lost in a plane crash a few weeks ago, I saw how great it was that they had videos, pictures and even audio to help those left here remember their faces, voices and remind us that it is the daily events that really matter.  Most of this then is probably for me, I guess, so that the "busy"ness of life with soon to be four children and 10 pets doesn't keep me from enjoying the everyday gifts they give to me (and if I do- I can look back here and be reminded!). May you also enjoy these little glimpses...
