Yes, I'm finally entering the blogging world. I just got rid of my flip phone. I just added texting to my plan. I guess I'm finally embracing some of the technology that I've been avoiding all these years.
Once we finished medical school in Utah and moved away from all our family, I started thinking about creating a blog. But it has taken me a year in Washington, a cross-country move, and more than a year in North Carolina to finally go for it. I'm obviously hoping this blog will help me keep in touch with family and friends, but I'm also hoping it provides me a place to write and share what's on my mind.
My little family is loving our life out here in Durham. We are surrounded by amazing people, beautiful scenery (you should see this place in the fall!), wildlife (we've seen everything from frogs to possums to deer just in our yard), history, beaches, mountains, diversity, and opportunity. North Carolina has become a happy home for us.
These days our life is filled with Mark's busy residency schedule (he's an ophthalmology resident at Duke), church service, school, preschool, soccer, gymnastics, piano lessons, Thomas trains, baby dolls, potty training, and all that comes with having three active, awesome kids.
So yes, I am happy to be starting a blog. I think it's finally time.
