Why I Love This Blogging Business

There is something to this "blogging"! Over the last few days, I have re-connected with so many people. I have found college friends that I haven't talked to in about 4 years, found a way to daily connect with 2 old roommates that have moved away, learned that a dear friend and her family are in desperate need of prayers, laughed histerically at several funny kiddos, and finally been moved by inspirational words of faith and love and the wonders of being a mom, sister, and friend.
There is nothing better than to KNOW you can go to certain friends blogs and get a good laugh. I always rely on Holly and Leslie for that no matter what. I love to read Alyssa's blog because she always has the most gentle, sweet reminders that make me appreciate my sisters and friends. The "ZooKeeper" amazes me with her creativity and vibrance even over the internet. I love to hear and see pictures from those sweet Arizona girls-I miss their mom and consider her as my sister that lives far away. I always learn something fun about being a mom from most of you, but I love to read the silly things that Cori and Kate do together-I know they will always be close like Cori hopes. I enjoy going thru the new moments that all of the new moms are having with their little girls and am THRILLED that someone else is as googly over their niece as I am about my 4!! I am also thankful for those of my friends that are just as bad as posting as I am and STILL have pictures from OSU homecoming on their blog! haha...
So, to all of you, I salute you and thank you! You brighten my day, make me laugh, cause me to reflect, and bring me inspiration of some kind each day! Keep 'em coming - even if I don't post for another 3 weeks!
