Blogging

The winter of 2005 I was introduced to blogging by a couple of college friends that had been blogging for a while. I became addicted to checking their blogs. Then it occurred to me that I too could blog. Blogging would be a great way to stay connected with all of my friends around the world. So I jumped into the blogging world just after Christmas that year with the announcement that the twins were coming(check their ultrasound pict.) Here is a picture of them today.

The last two years of blogs chronicle the events of my life: work, ministry, arrival of 5 more nieces and nephews, Dad's cancer, favorite photos, a trip to Japan, Dad's heart bypass, quiting my job, moving to Boise, 5 months of employment hiatus, a 30 day road trip, a new job, and future plans.

Today I was catching up with my favorite blogs and notice 3 new blogs of friends from home. I started thinking about all my friends and family that now blog. I started writing because of two friends. Today I read about 20 blogs of friends and family that blog as a result of my blog. It is kind of fun to be a catalyst of change. Do you blog because of my blog? I would love to hear from you if you do.

I hope you will stay with me as I continue sharing these snapshots of my journey.

    I blog because of you Carrie - I can say you kind of inspired me but in a very unusual way - you actually got on my personal home computer and MADE me blog :) I am so thankful that you did and am now also addicted (thanks!)I have also got a few others into it as well...
    I love reading about what you are up to. I always enjoy your beautiful pictures but mostly, I love that I am able to see glimpses of your heart every time I visit your blog. I love you my friend!

    Hey Carrie - I'd have to say I'm blogging because of you. You set Jane up & she's been bugging me for a year to start, I've started... I love keeping up with you, Anita & Marie - it makes me forget you are all gone right now :)! I'm very excited for you on your photography plans, you already take such beautiful pictures. April
