What's a Blog?

I remember the day Kelly asked me if I wanted to make our own blog . . . and I looked at him like he was speaking Latin. "Blog? What's a blog? Are you making that word up? Are you trying to joke on me?" (I am often the brunt of many jokes at my own expense, many of them deserved). I was soon informed that most of the world knew what a blog was, and some of our friends even had their own blog. I tried to blame it on the fact that we are on a little island with little knowledge of the rest of the world, but low and behold, some of our friends who live here, the Bloms, have their very own blog! So I had to claim mere ignorance, and succumbed to the fact that I am sometimes slow in the ways of the world. So here I am now, creating our own blog, and acting like I always knew what a blog was. Who doesn't?

Anyways, the creation of our blog at this time is bittersweet. We are living a fairy tale life down here in the Cayman Islands, but our time is now drawing to a close. I have accepted a job teaching second grade at Trinity Christian School in Calgary, AB. We will be moving sometime this summer, and leaving behind our amazing friends, beautiful beaches, and sweat-inducing hot weather. People keep telling me we are crazy for moving away, but the job at Trinity was truly a gift from God, and we are not about to pass up on the opportunity to follow Him.

I hope to stay faithful to this whole blog thing, and I was able to figure out how to add a picture, so I'm feeling pretty smart!

Blessings!
