Time to conform :)

Well I guess it's time I start my own blog since a lot of people I know all have theirs up and running, time to join the bandwagon. Isn't it amazing how easily we can keep in touch with everyone we know now? Used to be in the old days you'd have to send out a letter, call someone on the land line, ride for days on a horse just to get to your closest neighbor, send out smoke signals, or ride a ship across the ocean. As grateful as I am at how technolgy enhances our lives and makes it easy for us to keep in touch with friends and loved ones, it is always nice to get away from it for a few days and just enjoy the great outdoors that Heavenly Father has created for us. For those who are curious or not so curious the reason that my blog is called Cricket is because I love to listen to the sound of crickets chirping at night. There is nothing I love more than having the moon shine in through my open window on a cool summer night and fall asleep to the wonderful sound of crickets. I have a friend in Pocatello that I told that to and he had a good laugh about it. Ever since then he has called me cricket and it's been one of my most favorite nicknames.
