Like you, my thinking...Welcome to the blogosphere! Like you, my thinking was that a blog is a good way to keep people back in the States up on the latest. A surprising side benefit has been that we've met a lot of people here in New Zealand as a result of them happening across the blog. So, that's pretty neat.<BR/><BR/>In regards to what I use it for and what I write about...I find that I censor myself quite a bit. I don't always have the freedom to say what I am truly feeling at the time. I tend to paint a rosy picture, even if its not 100% perfect. The reason I do it is because the "Moms" back home are reading it, and I don't want them to worry. Also, New Zealand is not perfect and sometimes I feel compelled to gripe a bit, but I hold my tongue. Not sure why. Paranoia, I guess. Afraid they might kick me off the North Island. =)WShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13786230040791426709noreply@blogger.com
