Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I already posted today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that this is technically my second blog post.
But my first one was so I could actually have an about me page with pictures. So I don't actually consider that one a post, more of a fancy page on the side.
So ignore it.
Well don't ignore it, actually. Feel free and click on my, "All About Me" link on the right to learn way too much about my life. But don't try and read it like a blog post, because it's crazy and long and self indulgent. Read it as an "about me" page that is way better than the default one they give you here.
I promise I won't make too many of my actual blog posts that long.
SO WELCOME!
I'm starting this blog for a few reasons. First of all, when I was planning my wedding one of my good friends pointed me towards the world of blogging in the means of designing what I wanted for the event. I came across many bridal blogs where girls gave accounts of the trials and tribulations on the ways to their "I DOs". It was a great way to keep track of what was going on, and I liked reading them, but in no way could imagine writing one because I had no time. In fact I had ZERO time. I had negative time. Anyway, I thought about it, but didn't start one.
Then, while "stumbling" on firefox, (if you don't know what this is then congratulations you have a life) and came upon this hilarious blog. Some of you may be familiar with it. Brittany is a mother of 3, a writer, and the funniest person on earth. The deeper and deeper I got into the archives of her blog I realized that she is a 6 years older, wiser, funnier version of me. I thought to myself, you know what? I think I may be able to do this. I think I could keep track of my life, share it with others, and do it in a way that is interesting. But, what would be the sense of that? Only important people keep blogs.
So on I went, planning my wedding, staying busy at school, and trolling the internet reading blogs wishing I was important enough to start one. After some time, facebook stalking, and paying close attention to people and their "websites" I noticed something interesting. There were plenty of people in my life that had blogs.
Design Blogs
Professional Blogs
Personal Blogs, and more personal blogs!
It got me thinking...so maybe you don't have to be famous or super duper important to start a blog. If my friends can do it, then I can too!
Since I'm on my April Break, now was the best time to start it up.
What I hope to do with this blog is to share my life experiences and pursuit of all things positive and fabulous. I hope that I can connect with whoever decides to read it and maybe even bring some happiness to them as well.
I'd love feedback, especially as I get things going. Comment on my writing, comment about what you'd like me to change about my layout, comment on my life, or comment to just tell me you were here reading. Either way I would love to have comments.
See you around the blog!
Welcome to blog world!!!
