We have recently had a couple of unfortunate events happen here in Herriman. I won’t go into detail about them but it has been very interesting to watch and read the news coverage of the events. They don’t seem to get any of the details correct. How the events took place, what the circumstances were, how many people were hurt, or even the ages of people involved.

I know I can’t be too upset by it as they report on a story while it is still unfolding and take what anyone says as fact. But, shouldn’t they try to verify details before going live and reporting on it to the entire community. I have been guilty of this as I’m sure everyone has but I usually try to verify details before I go spouting it off to someone else.

So, for my blog, I will try to post things that are accurate. If I fail, let me know so I can correct my mistakes. Hopefully the news will some day get their details correct before they do their news stories.

(I know, a pretty boring post. I’ll have some posts on better subjects later)

I must admit that I never really saw the need for a blog in the past until I had my own. My wife was the same way. Why would she want to write a blog? It’s not like we believe ourselves to be great writers or anything and who would want to read our blogs anyway? To me, it is a way to write down helpful tips or fun memories. My wife loves to be able to record her memories and place them with some pictures. She always just figured “Oh, I’ll remember that”. Well, as much as we hate to admit it, we forget things all the time. Memories that we had of Abby, our oldest, have been forgotten and since we never wrote them down, we may never remember them. So, if for no other reason than keeping a record of our memories, I would encourage everyone to have a blog. You don’t necessarily have to make it public but it is a much easier way to share your thoughts and memories than keeping a written journal. There are many free online blogging sites such as http://www.wordpress.com and http://www.blogger.com. It’s easier than you may think to get started. You could be blogging in less than 5 minutes. Check it out.
