The Red, White and the Blue!


I thought this would make an appropriate first posting for the Hansen/Peterson family blog . . . the creation of which I have resisted for quite some time. After a quick 2-week trip to the SandBox or Emerald City as some have called it, I am more appreciative than ever of this wonderful place I call home: the United States of America!!! And wouldn't you know it, it's the day before the 4th of July.

Hopefully this little blog will be an important way for us to keep an ongoing family history, if you will, so that's good reason enough in and of itself. Thanks to our many friends and family members who have inspired us with their blogs: (Sherry, the Eyres, Harris Fam, etc.)

The name of the blog itself came as sort of an epiphany the other night when I was chatting with Stin, reviewing the events of the day, and a certain occurrence provided the impetus for the title. For reference purposes, those that are really bored out there may want to peruse the following link:

So there you go. More updates are forthcoming I just had to "break the ice" with this first post. More pics, updates, and stories to come!
