Blog the new journal

We had a lesson today on keeping a journal or family history . All of the pioneer stories were recorded in journals from our ancestors. So obviously we are supposed to keep a journal for our children . I keep a journal though collage and my mission and for many years of my marriage . Then I lost Alexandria ,I stopped writing . That was 20 years ago almost 22 . but this year I started to blog and I also wrote letters almost weekly to my sister and mother when I was in Ecuador I also wrote every week to my boys wail they were on their missions . So I think I could probably piece together a pretty good journal of my life .  Now I wonder should I gather together those letters and get them put in a book ? I really think I should.
When I realized that I did have records of my life tho scatted I got a bit excited . I even thought I wanted to read those letters because I loved Ecuador. It almost killed me several times but I did love it. So I think this is what I am going to do for my big project this winter . that is after I get my room cleaned and everything put away so I have someplace to organize all the records I have. ....maybe I should leave it for my kids to put together!
Other things happening in this world of mine . The girls came home from Trek they had a great time Lucia said the spirit was so strong and she was brought to tears about several times . One time she received a letter Papi and I had written to her delivered by the pony express. She said she was so home sick and tired and just wanted to be in her own bed then after reading the book she realized that some of the pioneers never saw their families again and some lost members on the trip . but they all wanted to get to the valley were the temple was so they could be sealed . so she and her two friends cried .this was just one of the many spiritual experiences that she had.

After Trek

The other Girls also had a great time . They all struggled at one point or another but made it through.
Other things ,.Austin my nephew Papis sister Alice's boy is with us . The plan is for him to stay the school year .Tishel is really excited about that . Austin is 13 going into 7th grade.I'm not sure Austin knows that he is staying yet.

Edgar turned One he had a little part wail they were visiting for the Porter Reunion in leverkin . It was so fun to have Robert Kim and Edger here , Instead of just running of after a few hours we really had time to get to visit .Kim helped me clean Dax's room I don't think I could have done it without her . Edger was alot of fun he was just starting to walk when the came by the time they left he was walking all over and also would break dance when he was to tired to stay awake it was so funny . All we could figure was he was trying to keep himself awake by moving anyway he could. We didn't get any pictures of that but here are a few of his birthday'

and some of us swimming at uncle Bobs
Now back to the topic of this blog . If I use this as a journal . How do I print it so that I have a hard copy?
