Hello World!

I started this blog on May 22, 2004 based on a suggestion from my boyfriend, John (quite the computer geek). I have been wanting to do this for a while for several reasons: first and foremost, I think I have a rare form of Alzheimer's that affects young people. I am sick and tired of forgetting when and where significant events in my life occurred. This blog will allow me to keep a timeline of important (and not so important) events in my life. Second, John and I recently moved to California and I want to be able to share pictures and thoughts with family and friends back home. And finally, I just think it's really cool, so hope you like it!
