Hello from up north

I am trying out blogging because I am feeling the homesick blues.  I miss my family and friends and sharing the mundane details that make up relationships.  For instance, when my dad and stepmom visited us in July she had a new red purse and I had completely missed out on the drooling/should I get it? phase that goes into buying a new bag.  These small excitements and celebrations are part of our human experience.  While I am on a great adventure with my husband, people are always most important in the end.  I miss my people.  Even with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, iMessage, etc. I still feel a disconnect and maybe writing thoughtful blurbs instead of instant posts or pictures will give me a little pick-me-up.
