A New Start

That's what the new year is all about, isn't it? - a new start. Well, that is certainly what this blog needs. I started it over a year ago but never got past the first blog. I hope this year will be better. What is the purpose of a blog? I guess for me it is to share personal events and thoughts that will hopefully be of interest to all of my friends back in the states. With the birth of Nathan and Noah there are more things to write about (but also less time for writing!) Unfortunately, I haven't been so good at sending out e-mail updates, mainly because it takes so much time to make it look "perfect," (I guess I am somewhat of a perfectionist.) and Facebook can sometimes swallow up hours of time. I will continue to try to stay connected through e-mail and Facebook, but I hope to continue adding to this blog to make it a sort of journal of our experiences. I hope it will help you to better understand what we are doing and perhaps be used of the Lord to encourage you!
