Wow, it's been a long time since I've written on here; almost two years! Where does the time go? I'm going to try my best to keep my blog updated. I really enjoy writing and would like to keep an account of the things, both big and small, that happen in my life. When I'm gone, I'd like to be remembered; not necessarily by millions of people, but I want my great-great-great-great-great-and-so-on-grandchildren to know who I was and what my life was like. My husband, Bradley, has a family tree (more like family orchard) book with hundreds of names and dates recorded in it. I don't think people realize that each of those names was a human being; a life lived, a story told. But the story was lost in the telling. No one wrote it down and it became forgotten. What I wouldn't give to hear those stories. Each and every one of us has a purpose on this Earth. Each life is filled with love and loss, sadness and hope, downfalls and triumphs. Each story is important just as each life is important. I intend to share my story with the world with the hope of it being read for generations to come.
