INSPIRED

HOLY COW.

Yes, in case you were wondering, I am very aware that “holy cow” is a 1990’s, grade-school teacher saying, Full House style phrase, but TOTALLY what popped into my head when I joined Pinterest today.

WHY has it taken me so long to do this? WHERE was this when I was planning my wedding? HOW can I make pinning my full time job!!?? Needless to say, I am in love.

What a great idea. Whoever started Pinterest is a genius.

So, enough with the gushing. I’ll move on to the inspired portion of this post, which requires a little bit of backstory. So here goes. Lately I have been a blog reading fool. I have a few blogs I read regularly, and then I link from those blogs to all sorts of other blogs. I love food blogs, family blogs, my husband’s music blog (of course), photography blogs and the list goes on. I always read those blogs and wish that I could be interesting enough for people to read, at least while they’re bored at work.

Well get ready people. I’m going to be interesting. Pinterest pushed me over the edge today. I have all sorts of renewed motivation to make this blog a fun place to spend some time during the middle of your 8 - 5 grind (or 7 to 7 if you're one of my nurse friends). Random for sure, but fun. If you know me, you know my life is all over the place. I work full-time, I go to school part-time, I go to a wedding like every 4 days, I play with my pup, I take pictures, I go to church, I pretend that I am a fabulous chef/baker and try all sorts of recipes that I have no business cooking, I hang out with my super fun husband, I clean, I try to make my house cute on a limited budget, I run (LOVE to run, but, not going to lie, it’s generally the first thing to go with all of the above going on) , I drink lots of wine and volunteer with little kiddos (not at the same time of course).

So don’t expect a totally clear mission from this revival of my blog, it will inevitably be just like my life, busy, slightly disorganized, and totally random. I’ll talk about puppies, and God, my new favorite cocktail, and everything in between. But I hope you’ll enjoy reading about the craziness that is my life, as much as I enjoy writing about it.
