Initial Entry

Okay so I am actually trying this because I know that some of my other friends and acquaintances have them and are really quite happy with the service. This will be a way for me to post pictures, videos, or just written entries and those of our family members that are not on myspace or facebook can still keep up with what is going on. We will see how this works out and while I do not promise to continue this for any length of time I will say that I will do my best to keep it updated and running.
Now first thing first I have actually stumbled upon a new desire. Since attending my family reunion in Florida I have figured out that I really have a desire to know all sides of my family better. For this reason and this reason alone I have been in regular contact with many of my Fant-Washington relatives. Along with this I am going go be starting the search and organizing to find out who I have on my father's side as well as the family that I have on Ryan's side of the family. While I know that everyone does not feel as I do about family I definitely want Laiken to know who he is and where he comes from on all sides. I am going to be trying to get together a photo booklet of people once I figure all this out so that I will have something to leave to my son when I am no longer on this earth. While I know that this is still many years away (obviously since I am only 26) I know that this is going to take time and so I choose to get started now.
Okay well I think that this is enough information for this first post so I am going to be drawing it to a close. But I hope that everyone that reads this blog is able to see how happy we are and see how things are going with us even if they are unable to be with us in person.

Yeah! I am so glad you started a blog! I love mine, and I feel like it is a great way for me to keep a record of our family since I don't keep a journal or scrapbook. I will call you this week and we can get together.
