We've arrived at last!  We've been sucked head first into the vast world of blogging.  And when I say we, I mean, well, just me.  I'm somehow doubtful my husband will want to join me in this black hole.  That's right.  I'm biting off more than I can chew, most likely.  And I'm aware this is quite the commitment (which is the main reason I've resisted for so long).

So "why now," you may ask.  The first reason is to stop the internal nagging voice in my head.  This way if I try and fail, I can tell the voice, "I told you so, now never bother me again."  Second, I really want to be better at keeping a journal, and I type faster than I write.  Third, we have family and friends all over the country-some who will be in other countries shortly-and this will be a good way for them to check up on us from time to time, if they so choose.

I have a friend who warned me not to spend too much time on introductions because they can become so monotonous.  It looks like I'm too late for that, and I don't want to waste any more time hitting the delete key so...

WELCOME!
