My First Post

I am happy to be entering into the blog world as a blogger! I’ve enjoyed reading many friend’s blogs over the past several years, but was reluctant to get my own. My husband’s had his own blog for awhile and has welcomed me to post on it. But, he’s got his own vibe going on and I didn’t want to ruin it. So, here I am.

I will warn anyone who’s reading this….I’m not a great writer. I much prefer to express myself verbally! I love nice long conversations with friends. However, living in Togo limits my ability to chat with US friends for very long. I’m hoping this blog will help us stay connected better!!! I want to share with you my thoughts, photos,and faith journey. I hope you’ll be encouraged to share what’s going on in your lives too! Until next time.

    Hey Tracey!
    Congrats on becoming a blogger! I’ve not ventured out to that area of cyberspace yet. Hope this finds you all doing well. You are all in our prayers every day. Who knows when, or if, we’ll ever get back to Kara.

    God Bless You all!

    Welcome, Tracey…
    I am glad you have entered the world of blogging and look forward to keeping up with you and the family through your site. As you say, Bryan has his own vibe (which I love), but I will appreciate hearing about you all from a mom’s point of view. I know you will do better than I do posting frequently….Love you all…Lesa

    Yea Tracy! So glad you are entering blog world. I will check in regularly to hear your thoughts on life. Blogging has been such a fun thing for us to do and has been a great tool for staying connected with family, friends, and even connecting us in new ways to people that we didn’t know before. You will bless and be blessed!

    Hey Trace,

    This is the third time I have tried to email you. Your dear old dad doesn’t have a lot of computer savvy! I also don’t really know what a “blog” is but I do know if my daughter is involed in it well it must be good. I look forward to your comments and pictures that you post.

    Love always,

    Dad

    Tracey,
    I miss you lots! I am teaching full time this year at the girls’ school. It is hard and our life is very different. I am stamping when I can! Miss you and wish we could visit your side of the world! Love you, Katie

    Welcome Tracey. It is turning out to be more fun than I thought it could be, especially now with better internet. Have a great day!

    I am thrilled to see so many comments on my first post! I know that it probably won’t happen every time, but I’m enjoying it while I can!! You’ve made me smile! Thanks you, friends!!!

    Tracy, I found your blog from your sweet comments on Brett & April’s blog. Your comment about your boys’ Christmas request made me laugh and realize there may be lots of “unusual things” Caden may ask for in the future,too. =-)
    I’m looking forward to getting to know the rest of “the team” in the months to come. May God continue to fill you with the peace that only He can provide.
    Keep blogging =-)

    Tracey – welcome to blog-world!! You’ll love it…..I really enjoy being able to stay a little more connected to what is going on in Togo by reading Bryan’s blog, so now I get to hear your perspective also!!
