Typically, a post on a public blog is intended for the general audience. But this post is for one person, Stephanie! Let’s see, Stephanie is…

My best friend,

Twin sister,

Partner in crime,

Trusted confidant,

Workout buddy,

Fellow cooking enthusiast,

Vegetable eater,

Fellow AMC Movie watcher and gossip magazine reader,

Techology lover (Think: Kip from Napolean Dynomite”),

But Stephanie is now

Far Away.

I had a realization the other night after we talked on the phone. You had just returned from Dallas and basically we said to each other, “I have so much I want to tell you but I don’t have time to tell you now!”

Now that we’re getting older, and we don’t live near each other, and our free time never seems to overlap, we don’t have much time to catch up with each other regularly. My realization was that we need a way to share our daily updates and stay connected to each other that doesn’t depend on us both being available at the same time. I thought of a blog, a constant ongoing conversation of things we want to tell each other and share with others too. Obviously, there are still topics that we won’t discuss publicly on the blog. I think this little nook on the Web will be a great outlet for us to share our new favorite recipes, fitness stories, health information, entertainment, and all the things we used to talk about every day. That means, when we have time to catch up on the phone and hang out, you won’t have to spend any time telling me about your new workout routine or favorite new recipe…because I will already know.

I think your going to really enjoy posting and reading this site and I can’t wait to get started. I’ll be in touch for your Blogging 101 tutorial with your username and password in hand.

Love you,
