Thank You

I had a comment from Rachel that she was really glad that I had started blogging and, in reply, I have to really thank several of you. I was absolutely clueless about the blogging world until just a few months ago (Oct 07) and it has been a wonderful opportunity for me. Melinda told me how to open a blog and pointed me in the right direction for some of the ways that I could personalize it. Then I followed links on her blog to find pages for Rachel, Sarah, Esther, and Aunt Annette. I have to tell all of you that I really appreciate the uplifting posts that I find on your blogs, and it really helps me so much. This move wasn't a really easy one for me, especially with having to put a break in my schooling, staying home all day, and dealing with a rather dreary climate change. It has been wonderful to me to be able to get more closely acquainted with all of you. Up until the last few years, the age gap between myself and many others in the family (both my siblings and my cousins) has felt really big, but finding this window into your lives has made me feel so much closer to all of you. I love being able to share in the experiences that you are enjoying/enduring, and I love being able to get on my own blog and see that you were here and commented on what I have shared with you. So, thanks to all of you for making this so much fun and for sharing with me, because I have really enjoyed it. I'm not sure where my sanity would have gone in the last couple of months without this outlet :)
