I have begun a blog b/c I have just left my home and friends yet again and don’t want to lose touch. I love change and I enjoy moving and living in different places. I love meeting new people and wondering how I ever lived without them. What I absolutely despise is losing touch years later with these same people. People that I love dearly, that I care about deeply, that have made me laugh in so many ways, people that somehow have been pushed out of my life as easily as they were pushed into it. I vow to blog in order to combat that phenomenon b/c I love the people in my life and want to continue to “talk” with them. I want my blog to be a forum where friends can remain friends. Another reason I want to blog is b/c I need therapy of sorts. I find myself slipping into superficial at an alarming speed. I want to remain real not only with my friends but with myself as well. I hope this blog will do just that. Thank you blog world for allowing me a chance for expression, to take the time to write down these thoughts and feelings that otherwise I may have lazily passed up.

   Ok, so you just started this and you already know how to change your background and all that. Please tell me how!! Will you be weighing in on Chicago Cubs issues or are you leaving that to Dustin?

   Welcome to the blogosphere. The downside of blogs is that you get freakshows on your blog that you really never wanted to talk to in the first place. Right guys? Guys? Doh!

   Well I suppose it is cool that you have taken to the world of the blogger. After all, now that you are a West Coaster, you have to start posting all kinds of extreme left wing political views. You need to root for anyone who doesn't like America, refuse to shave your pits, drink green tea, buy Burkinstocks, chain yourself to a tree to prevent it being logged, and ditch any car that runs on fossil fuels. Keep us abreast of how you are progressing by using step number one, your new blog. MISS YOU ALREADY!!!

   Kelli,
   I will look forward to hearing about your life as it really makes me not miss home so much. I am praying for you and Dustin in the move/transition out west.
