time to become a blogger

Howdy everyone! Well here I am, a new blogger, wondering what to say...I will start with coming up with a name for the page. One of my thoughts was "The Torry Teller". Those of you who know me best know that this is a name that was granted to me by a dear friend (you know who you are!) mostly because I LOVE telling stories, especially long ones. I will tell you its a family trait, short stories are NOT our speciality. With that said, I will make a vow now to do my best to keep my posts short, sweet and to the point! Be patient, I am sure it will get easier for me.

So why am I starting this? I finally realized that my daughter turns 2 this week and when she was born I vowed to myself to write down all the "little" things that she would do so that we could remember and some day tell her about them. Well let's just say that I haven't kept up with my part of the bargain and she sure has! With that thought I decided that the best way to do this and keep up with it would be to start blogging so that I can document and share with family and friends as soon as these little things happen.

A first "moment" for the blog....last week Jason, Cassidy and I were out to dinner. We were seated next to a man dining by himself. He was trying to read and enjoy his dinner and Jason and I were doing our best to keep Cassidy focused on our table and not trying to talk to him. Soon enough he left. Cassidy didn't realize it at first and when she did she asked me where he went, I responded with, "he went home to go night-night". She was quick to respond, "no, he went poo-poo in the potty". With tears streaming down my face and Jason trying not to choke on his food, I calmly tried to tell her that we didn't know him and that going potty is a bit personal. Oh Lord, the life and mind of a 2 year old!!

So to each of you who may be reading, I hope you enjoy the life of my husband, daughter and myself and may it bring you a moment of happiness along with us!

That's all for now!
