Family visits

We had a fun past few days with family visiting from the Seattle area, and on Friday we'll drive to the central coast to spend time with more family. It's a little sad living far away from everyone and having to make a whole trip out of every visit. It'd be great to somehow live right next to both sides of the family and see everyone all the time. But I'm grateful for the time we do get to spend together, and I hope it will be more frequent sometime in the not-so-distant future.

Back to it

I know I always do this. I say I'm going to blog consistently and then life gets in the way and I stop writing...and then I wander back months later and have this awkward feeling like I need to explain myself and why I've been gone so long and how this time will be different and I'll actually keep writing, blah, blah, blah. Well, I don't really know if it will be different, but I'm back for now. The thing is, I'm a storyteller at heart. So, even though I may let months go by between posts, I always come back...and I think I always will. So, if you're here and want to hear my stories for as long as I stick around, cool -- I'm glad to have you here, and thanks for reading. :)
