Blogging 1, Torie 0

I held out for so long.......but then my curiousity got the best of me. Everywhere people around me were popping up with there own blogs....friends, educators, motivational speakers; it seems to be the thing to do, right?

Well, that is exactly the reason that I didn't want to get a blog. I have never been the person to do something just because someone else does it. In fact I was (who am I kidding...I still am) the stubborn kid who doesn't give in. As you can see though, here I am...blogging. After doing my own investigating I decided that this blogging thing could actually be a pretty cool thing. Here's why:

1. I am cut off from civilization-or so it seems-this summer while working at Rock Springs.
2. I often have the best of intentions to write notes and keep in touch with the people that matter most in my life, but somehow I always seem to fail at following through with my thoughts.
3. Everyone has the internet now....or access to it (ahem....Mom, Dad).
4. I love to talk :)
5. I am really trying to fous on strengthening relationships in my life and maybe by keeping in touch with those closest to me I can start to be better at it.
6. I am sure that it will turn out to be very interesting.

(Oh, and if you didn't know, I l-o-v-e love making lists!!)

However, I still have some reservations;
1. Who in their right mind would want to read this, let alone care about what I think?
2. What can I say that no one else has said yet?
3. Is this just pointless anyways?

Nonetheless, let's give this a go. Don't tell anyone, but I am kind of enjoying this blogging thing :)
