A first time blogger

I have never even posted to a blog, let alone considered having one of my own! However, it's a new year, so I'm trying new things... We've got a handful of out-of-town family and friends, not to mention all the local friends and family that we just don't see or talk to often enough. So, I'm hoping that this will be a fun way to keep in touch and share our lives with you. Happy new year!
