I am not quite sure where to begin......Why am I blogging?? Well it has been a year and a half since I boarded a plane with my first-born and only daughter to take her to college some 2,000 miles away. I cried everyday for the first 6 months...for real. Well you can imagine my delight when she started her own blog. It was like opening a present everytime she posted a new entry. I would soak it up with delight and really felt closer to her. I sometimes even read over her older posts because I enjoy her blog so much. Over the last few months I thought it might be fun to start blogging. I am sure it will not be nearly as witty and interesting as Victoria's (that's my daughters name) I am going to give it a whirl. This is quite an undertaking for someone who is thrilled to have finally figured out how to use her blackberry. Let's just say technology is not my forte'.
I am divinely created. God has given me the great and awesome gift of a body and a spirit. I know this like I know the sun rises each morning. I believe with this gift comes a great responsibility. A responsibility to nourish, nurture, respect and care for it. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." 2Nephi 2:25.I believe joy is found in a healthy body, mind, and spirit. It's a journey and I'm rejoicing in it!

I hear ya. My daughter Julia was born in Portugal, when I lived there. When we moved back to the states, she was 3. She travels to Portugal every summer to visit her dad, and those are the toughest weeks of my life.
