First time for everything

Here it is, my first blog entry. Now there is a way for everyone to keep up with me, even if I can't email them every day. My hopes in creating this are that when I am abroad and traveling or living where phones aren't necessarily conveinient (or affordable) friends and family can look at that this and stay up to date. Among everything this will also be a living record as my life changes, progresses, and grows. Enjoy it, and leave comments and/or sentiments etc. if you like. :-)
