Why Blog?

For as long as I can remember I have always thought about the future and wondered how I would remember the past...the very moment that I was in thinking about the future? Follow me? Most of us will remember the BIG things: that special birthday party, the trip to some spectacular place, or those special moments...the kind that gives you goose pumps on your arms or chills at the back of your neck! But I have always wondered what happens to regular days, normal everyday things, the ins and outs of daily life? They have weight, merit, clout- don't they? I forone think so. These regular, normal, everyday moments are what make up a 24 hour period, our weeks, months and years that keep rolling by...and disappear from our memory (or at least mine). I have wanted to capture them in words and in photos and I am glad I have a place to put them, keep them, revisit them and share them. So this, The Guptil Family Ramble will be just that, a rambling of things that make up our daily lives, what we enjoy, people we love, adventures we take, milestones and all the simple, regular and normal (at least to us) things that make us who we are. I hope you enjoy the read(s) as much as I enjoy the process of blogging our memories.
