Ashley told me to.

Last night I got to hold our friends' baby for the first time. He is precious, and his mama Ashley told me I need to start a blog, so I am. Apparently I'll "be good at it," whatever that means. I'm really not sure how to do this, plug in pics, or use the link button, so it is obviously clear where her encouragement came from. Thanks, Ash! I am also not quite sure who will look at this blog since the only person I know that blogs is Ashley, so it will probably be a party of two for a little while which is always totally awesome. Without my own cute children to blog about, I'll be torturing you all with the ins and outs of the Bergman household: frozen burrito night, arguments over who's turn it is to pick up doggy poo, the successes of the Spokane Chiefs hockey team, the failures of my husband's D-League hockey team, and other fantastic oddities of eastern Washington life. Should be a good time. Here are a few things I am personally looking forward to this summer:

• Josh's cousin Jordan will live with us as he does an internship for I-don't-know-where
• A camping trip with family that hopefully involves some viciously-competitive games of volleyball
• A camping trip with friends that hopefully does NOT involve the loss of my two front teeth (Thanks, sweetheart!)
• Many sweltering hot days of mowing the lawn (my job), pulling weeds (Ohp! Also my job), and weed whacking (Here's a shocker: my job, too)
• Last but not least, news of a teaching job for me so I don't have to make a living by selling my poor lawn care skills to the rest of our neighborhood (15 year old boys, I'll take you down)
