HERE I GO!!!

Ok, I am taking the blogging plunge! I have resisted for several months, "I really don't have the time," I say,.. but who does? I LOVE reading my friends' blogs, I like the idea of keeping in touch with people this way so...why not, right? Why the nerves??? -- The butterflies??? Is the blog going to look good? Am I doing to say something I'll regret just to have everyone read what I wished I didn't say? Am I more of a private person than I thought I was? Maybe I am afraid of strange people finding my blog. Maybe it's the pressure of having to "out-blog" someone,...or just the pressure TO blog. Probably a mixture of all of those things. Nevertheless, ...here I go. My goal: I am going to try to "keep it real"- just in order to keep in touch with family and friends. No pressure to be funny, whitty, or clever, ok? No falling into the temptation of painting a charming picture of our lives. Or making it like I am mother of the year... OK? Please none of that pressure. Just read about the Hooleys and enjoy the Hooleys for just being the Hooleys. With that said, I feel like I can breathe a big sigh of relief. The pressure is off.

I will now start this blog, at this time of year, with a big warm "Merry Christmas from North Logan, Utah!" We miss our friends and family in California and we miss our friends from Texas. We hope you will enjoy keeping up with little Hooley happenings here and there- (as I find time to blog,...no pressure, remember.) And, if you so desire to start your own blog, please let us in to your lives as well.

Here's to HAPPY BLOGGING!
