To Blog or Not to Blog...

I am not naturally a conformer and I don't like the bandwagons people jump on with the newest craze...in this case....BLOGGING. However, this idea of sharing my daily experiences, as intriguing as they are, is growing on me. The main reason that I've decide to jump aboard is because of a promise I made to my sister-in-law, Lindy. Lindy and Chris are leaving tomorrow on an adventure for Christ...they have accepted the call into missions in Nairobi, Kenya and will be making a home there until they are called back to the states. Matt and I feel like we're losing our right arms and we're right-handed which make it very difficult to function normally, but we'll manage. We're not promised another day on this earth or another day with Chris and Lindy and we certainly don't deserve the time we've had. Our friendship with "Team Thompson" goes beyond family ties and beyond best friends...it is a spiritual connection and a relationship that we value deeply. And how is it awesome to share in such in this experience despite the sadness? This is my first blog and it will be short. Chris and Lindy are here at our house, not to say "goodbye," but to say "see ya later," and we can't wait...we miss them already!
