Welcome to the 21st Century

I've been wishing there was a way for me to update and keep in touch with the people who don't live around me. I considered MySpace but that is not really what that site is for. I've been sending emails...sometimes to the point of annoyance, I'm sure. But people are busy. They have a ton of emails in their inbox each day...in the sea of messages, how important is mine? I wanted something where I could post photos and stories and limit who saw it without limiting my friends and family's access. I wanted to put my own style to it and have an easy way to direct people to it. But did something like that exist?...DUH! I could join the rest of the technologically savvy world and create a blog. So, voila...my blog. Enjoy!
