I'm new to this

So, I have never done anything like this before but I figure that pretty soon I will be over 12 hours away from my family & this may be the best way to keep them up to date on what is going on! I could be wrong but I'll give it a shot. I have read some of my friends blogs and it has been great reconnecting through facebook and so neat to see all of the fun stuff they are up to (Jessica)! If I stink at this I am sorry but I'm going to try!!!!
