A Big Step

So, where to start?  I have been thinking about and wanting to start a blog for quite a while now, perhaps as a way to fill time, (oh, who am I kidding, I have no free time!) or perhaps to share those easily-forgotten-but-oh-so-precious everyday moments with family and friends far away, or perhaps to salvage a piece of myself in this craziness of real life.  Or perhaps all three.  I guess I hope to be able to keep friends and family up-to-date and to enjoy reflecting on those little things that I might otherwise forget.  The way my oldest makes the baby giggle like no one else can.  Or the way my middle tells the most off the wall knock-knock jokes that are so crazy they're funny. (Knock-knock.  Who's there? Orange.  Orange who?  Orange, banana, apple!!!)

You see, all of my family and most of my friends are back "home," as I will probably always refer to it.  We are an Army family, and although we've been back in a year now, there are still days I long for the familiar and the girls long for grandmas and grandpas and aunts and uncles.  It's sometimes a difficult thing, this Army life, but it can also be a blessing.  Hopefully I can share those blessings as I start this blogging journey.
