Quite Surprised

Okay, so this blog has already had a better turn out than I expected... way to go Donald & Tom! Is there any chance we can get the rest of the losers to start blogging? I guess we'll just wait and see...

I will probably post every once in awhile

Well all of my posts will be very short because this reminds me a lot of school ( I had to do this weekly for one of my writing classes) and because of course I'm a loser and not a lot ever happens in my life. Basically the only news I have to report is that I am very sore from snowboarding but it was a lot of fun to show off and do backflips off the jumps. Tom you need to get good, I want to come to Utah and snowboard with you and your friends!

Okay I'm in

Alright so I'm in, but if I end up just ranting on here than I really don't know what all my faithful followers will do....oh wait that would be Laurie and Jeff.
So I went to my first single adults activity last night! It was actually kind of fun but not because of the girls that were there, it was probably because I just had nothing better to do. Even though it was fun I did come away a little panicked. It's never a good sign for how your life is going when you go to a young single adults function and there are girls there that you consider too young to date but yet they are well within their rights to be there, or in other words I'm getting old. I have this deep placed fear within me that I'm going to end up being a Jason McGuire, that I'll be that balding fat guy who laughs too loud and just keeps showing up to these parties with all the 20 year olds when I'm already 30!
I tell myself that I just need to relax and that things will get better once school starts in January, and that's what everyone else tells me too; but I can't help but worry I mean someone has to be that creepy guy, who's to say that its not me? I think I could play that role pretty well. I guess only time can tell.
I move into my apartment down in Orem on the 2nd and I'm thinking that will be a good thing too. Then I won't be living with a family or going to a family ward so maybe I'll actually meet some people my age. Anyway that's what is going on here in my life...hopefully everyone else will write in here too....honestly Laurie, I'm not holding out though.

The Beginning

We will see how this goes and if anyone is actually interested in keeping up this blog. I thought, though, that it might be kind of fun/interesting if everyone would like to contribute to a "communal blog". Ideally, this blog will contain info and updates as well as cool stories and interesting happenings of the "North Clan" (which includes "significant others"). It's pretty odd that I'm starting it, since at Christmas dinner I was told that I don't belong with that family (being as my last name is Higgins)... but I'll give it a go anyway.

I would imagine that Mom will blog occasionally (if she can figure out how to do it and doesn't forget), Dad will add his insight here and there (if he isn't too cool), I will keep you all updated on my beautiful kids and how wonderful they are (real reason for another blog... my other one isn't enough to contain all my bragging), Dan (wouldn't count on it...), Jeff & Breein, well maybe Breein will, Tom might rant a bit for us, Donald (& Kayleigh... don't really know her) could go either way... probably won't be interested though, Stephanie... maybe?, and Doug, hmmmm (well technically he hasn't been invited to contribute yet as I don't have his email).

So, there you have it. The first post of the "Northly News" blog. Will it be the last?
