Here goes nothing!

I've been trying to keep people posted via our family website and have failed miserably. I hope maybe this format will be a little easier to keep up to date on. Maybe no one will read this but Kendra, who is my inspiration for this blog, but that's ok too. She's at the top of my list of "people I need to keep in better touch with" (and if I tried to actually post that entire list it would be really long) so hopefully this will do the trick! We're off on a month-long vacation this week and I hope to post some updates along the way there too.
