To blog or not to blog......the first "official" post

How hard is it to start a blog? In our case, very hard, since we've been thinking about it for a while but weren't sure how to start, when to start and now we look back and wish we would have started sooner! As you may have noticed, we have put a few things up from the past and may go back on old memories.....and will archive them accordingly. However, we'll see how motivated we get.

Our good friend Laura, (here she is with her new puppy Riley) was the instigator and she said that all we have to put up are pictures, LOTS of pictures. So we may just do that from time to time, but it will be nice to have a "diary" of sorts, since it is hard to keep track of ourselves sometimes!

As you know, we've had our website for a couple years and while it has been nice, it is hard to manage new happenings and we usually end up making a whole new page for each new thing we do. Since we have Gretta now, her page gets updated frequently and its hard to keep what we've written previously because we have to move things around to put new things on top and without boring you too much its just difficult to keep updating it without deleting what was updated last time. Yada, Yada, Yada. So, needless to say, we think that this blog will help us to update more often as it will be easier and faster to post and put up pictures using this format.

Given that we are headed back to Bangkok in the fall for about 8 months, we thought it would be good to start this and get the hang of it so we can be regular bloggers by the time we leave the country again and can give adequate updates to those back home who eagerly await to see and hear about us and our adventures! I don't know if we'll be as witty as some bloggers, but we will surely give it our best shot....and so here is our first post!

While we get the hang of this please be patient.........!
