I must say I am quite happy with how many people have started to blog. It is a lot of fun to see pictures of each other and what we are all doing. I envisioned the Bismarck Blog a little differently, but I love how it has turned out. It seems to a hub to all of the individual blogs and not so much where we all post. I like that.
I'm glad I got the whole Cox family to join in. Now I just wish I could get the rest of you to do the same- I look forward to seeing how you are all doing. I hope you don't think you have to be married or have children to start a blog, us married people just have duller lives so we put pictures of our children on here to have something to post. :)
Growing up, all of us youth were really close- we would always hang out with each other and do things together. I think that was so good for us because we were always surrounded by good people, which made it easier to stay active in the church. Anyhow, we have all grown up and unfortunately life is still tough, so it is still a good idea to stay close to other members of the church. I am sure we have all made other friends now, but I consider those people I grew up with in Bismarck to be part of my family, my ward family.
This is why I think it is important to stay in contact with each other- not only because it is fun to see what is happening in each others lives but also because we are a family and want to make sure everyone is okay. I hope everyone knows that they have tons of friends that they can rely on if ever needed.
