Welcome to the inaugural issue of my blog! I have been lurking in the blogosphere for months now; I had meant to start this one as a tribute to my daughter Samantha who was accepted to the United States Air Force Academy this fall (hence the web address “sam’s mom tx”). Go Sam!!! We are so very proud of her; not many people understand how difficult it is to secure an appointment to any of our military service academies. They select only the best and brightest of our youth; the academies mold them to become our future leaders.
But on further reflection, I have decided that it’s not going to be all about Sam (no embarrassing naked baby pictures, I promise) but more about, well, everything. Sam is entitled to her privacy and can determine on her own what to allow everyone with an internet connection to know about her. I am not going to post every little thing that happens; that’s what twitter is for!!! JK, just like pretty much every other 40-something, I signed up for twitter and now I don’t know what to do with it! My intention (yea, I know, road to Hades and what not) is to just keep in touch with the people that I don’t get to talk to every day (or once a year) and keep them up to date with Sam’s progress. So, once again, welcome!!!
