There comes a point in every girl's life when she decides to finally grit her teeth and do the unthinkable: take her family's advice. Ever since I got married this past year, my family has taken it in turns to periodically pester me about starting a blog like the rest of them. I would simply counter by reminding them how horrible I am about staying in touch with people through electronic media. Heck, even my cell phone message issues fair warning to one and all that I may or may not respond! I figure if it's really important you'll call back. :) However, it would seem fate decided not to back my cause this time...what with school, work, and all the other stuff that seems to weasle it's way into my free time--it takes a major family crisis to clear enough room for me to hang out with those I love the way I used to; hence, my blog is born.
I've learned many lessons from my family, and one that has struck very close to home recently is the importance of continuing to cultivate those relationships that mean the most to us in life. So, to all the friends I've lost track of, and all the family patient enough to put up with me, I want to say a fresh "hello" and ask for a second chance. Who knows--maybe I'll even find the willpower to check my messages daily! I love you guys.
