Why? (my very first blog)

After much debate and a lot of persuasion from my siblings and friends, I have decided to be a blogger--Not JUST because it makes me think of a lousy lumberjack, but because I've decided it may be time for me to embrace the great world of computer technology; because my sisters are right, I was never going to get into scrapbooking, myspace, or ldslinkup. Basically, I need an excuse to check up on friends, and keep everyone posted on our super-exciting lives (haha).
