Without further a due, here it is… the birth of my blog!  During my travels in the past, I primarily kept everyone updated via mass email on a weekly basis, however I’ve since decided that a blog would be more appropriate… not only does it give you all the ability to see what I’m up to at your leisure rather than being bombarded by my emails, but I am also able to share photo albums of my adventures with you as well.  I will do my best to keep this updated regularly, and I greatly appreciate your interest in getting a window into my “reality.” 🙂
