I'm going for gold!!

Ok, so this is my very first blog ever. Specht family, I hope that you are able to start yours, as well! Hopefully this will become a meeting point for all of us, giving us an easy way to keep in touch over the long distances.
I know it took me a bit to get it going, but Portland is iced in today, so I'm home from work. Yeah! The Minnesota side of me thinks this is really funny, but the Oregon side of me is a total wussy and am so glad to be stuck inside!! Hope everyone is surviving this crazy weather!
