I use WordPress to write my blog.  One of its features is you can look at a section called Your Stats.  This allows you to see how many people have looked at your blog (though not who they are) and how they found it – Facebook, email, Google search, etc.  You can also see in which countries people have looked at your blog.

I started writing a few months ago to keep our friends and family updated on how our family is doing here in Alaska.  I don’t have very many overseas friends, so I didn’t expect to see any other countries.  I was a little shocked to see I’ve had two views in both Canada and England and 16 (!!) in Norway.  I don’t know anyone in Norway.  Amazing!

If you’re family or Texas friends, I hope you’ll keep following our family.  And if you’re someone who has somehow found my little blog on a Texas family’s adventure in Alaska, I’d like to say, “Hello, Hi, Howdy and Welcome!”  Please keep checking in on us.  And if I knew how to say that in Norwegian, I would. 🙂
