Surprise!!! Your mom’s a bLOgGer!!!

Everyone needs to start somewhere and this is me starting a blog. I know...I know, I am shocked too. It reminds me of something that happened about 3 years ago. I think I frightened my oldest child. At the time he was serving a mission in the Belgium Brussels/Netherlands Mission, and I FORGOT to tell him Happy Birthday. You see this might not have been a problem, but I could only e-mail him once a week and that moment had just slipped by. What kind of mother was I to forget my oldest son's birthday of whom I had not seen for almost two years. Well…I had an idea. This is where it gets a little spooky. I had just really started dabbling in facebook. I also had just recently met one of Tyler’s missionary friends Nathalie Van Emple from his mission in the Netherlands, who had since moved to Provo. She quickly became a facebook friend, which really ended up blessing my life more than I could have imagined. Nathalie had a sister in the Netherlands. Maybe you can guess the rest of the story...I will share anyway, because to me this was a MIRACLE!! So, I contacted Catherine (Nathalie's sister) via facebook and was able to send a card to my oldest son ON his birthday. How in the World. This could not have happened even two years before. Anyway not for me =D So Elder Gish (Tyler) was in definite shock. MY MOM HAS A FACEBOOK...what has the world come to.

Well family, your mom has gone one step further...she has started a blog. Not sure how good I will be or if I will become famous, can't guarantee I won't embarrass anyone. Mostly myself with my FaNTasTiC writing skills. But, none the less I am starting a blog. Because....We definitely have GiShuEs!!!
