virgin blogger

this is my first official post on this or any blog. we don't have a blog, but if and when we get one i will certainly get you all the info. i do love reading everyone else's blogs. it's so fun to see photos of your kids, animals, homes, selves. and THANKS to jen for this great idea and fantastic effort to keep us all linked.
i got the great email from Heidi saying they were having a girl! wa hoo for the Miner's. but i still don't know what Bekah or Em is having. so will you please post or email your news.
i've been doing some lerking around, or what we call Blogstalking, and i've seen a lot of great fall foliage photos. Autumn here is always a little bit later in the season. we have a few trees changing, but not a lot. more this month and they all fall mid-november. but it's been great to see the gorgeous shots of Big and Little Cottonwood canyon. you know i LOVE fall, and it's linked to so many great memories of the girls. of course Peter B., the time we took photos on the wander lane bridge/wall thing, school in session and lots of fun activites. i know i am a loser, and not very good at keeping in touch, but i do miss you girls. to be honest, because that is apparently what blogs are for, i don't keep in touch too much because sometimes it's harder on me. i am happy here and i love my life and friends, but when i talk to you all the time i feel like i live in the "what if's" and "when i live there's". so i apologize if i've ever made you feel like i disowned or abandoned the group. i keep you in my heart and i do love the contact we have now. i don't want you to stop emailing and calling, i just wanted to explain why i don't go to great legnths to do the same all the time. i'm going to be working on it.
enjoy the fall and sniff a tree for me.
hugs all around!!
