blogging

so this blogging thing is weird. i had no clue what to write about when i started (even though i have at least 10 blogs that i follow and love, you'd think i could pull from others creative genius) and no matter how often i swear i'll get to it it seems that it takes the back seat more often then not. the bottom line is, i love love love reading others blogs even if they're about nothing in peticular and i enjoy writing on here when i do get the chance. it's a journal of sorts (funny thing i was never good and keep up a journal either... i see a pattern forming).
so, what do i love in a blog?
1. authenticity
2. photos
3. humor
4. diversity

i don't really care to hear people's random opinions, but i do want to know what keeps them up at night.
so i said all that to say, i hope to soon start bloggin more about what's real in my life, what photos i've taken along the way, and hopefully make you laugh along the way.

i saw this article today and figured i'd share the wisdom

now, tonight maybe i'll blog about our sick weekend at home and how all plans got put off until next weekend. except the tax prep which must be done in the evenings this week since the tax gal is coming this friday night. ugh. makes my feel light headed and heavy chested just thinking about it. while we're on the top of stress can i tell you that the stock market fell again today. can i also tell you that we bought our house on nov 21st and starting jan 1st the first time home buyers tax credit went from the $7500 that we'll get to $8000 oh and did i tell you that we have to pay our $7500 back and the $8000 you don't. oh and did i mention that if you buy a new home (never been lived in) between march 1st 09 and march 1st 2010 you'll get an additional $10000 from the state. yea, you don't pay that back either. ugh again. economics makes my head hurt. however i love my house, i love my husband, i love our dog (who has started coming out of her shell this week, even comes to us & wags her tail!) and i love the plans we have for our house. next weekend we're building these... http://thepioneerwoman.com/homeandgarden/
this way we can start our garden. my spices/herbs are coming along nicely thus far.

alright, i seriously ramble like you wouldn't believe. i'm aware.

being new home owners there are always "projects" to be done. the past few weekends as the weather has been getting nicer those projects have been outdoors. ryan usually digging, planting, pulling, weeding, mowing or sweeping and me... well, i photograph it all. it's the part i enjoy. and this last weekend as i felt i should get dirty and dig a little he consistently asked me " you want me to do that?" so i'm guessing i either looked way out of my element or i wasn't doing it "right". i'll stick to the photographs or maybe i'll sleep in next time. :) i enjoy my role. our herbs are begining to sprout this week. we're still debating on the garden. we were all go this weekend and then stopped to figure out how to get rid of the grass that is where we want the garden. when we couldn't come up with a "simple solution" we opted out of the garden and bought flowers for the front yard. now i think we have a solution so we migh...

My Love

My poor husband has had a rough few weeks so I thought I'd send him a bit of encouragement via our blog. What makes me ♥ love ♥ MY Love: His willingness to help an old lady load her car in the grocery store parking lot His humor The animal lover in him The way still sticks out his lower lip when he's bummed about something That he can BBQ a tri tip steak like it's nobody's business. That he notices when I clean house He's HOT! How he calls his family often just because That he does all the vacuuming at our house That he reads the blogs I write and will compliment me on them That he rolls his eyes when I turn on HGTV, but when I'm not in the room he'll turn to it That he'll walk up to a service man or woman in uniform in public & shake their hand & thank them for their service. That he'll sacrifice a Saturday to plant flowers for my 78 yr old aunt just so she won't do it herself. That after a knock down drag out argument he will apologize ...

New Blog Design

Do you like it? Mariah had a giveaway on her blog awhile back awarding someone a new blog design and button and I actually won! At the time I had no clue what I actually wanted and was in the midst of a photography class and didn't really have the time to spend figuring it out. Well, she was patient with me and even let me take the photos for my header and she put them all together to make them look GREAT! Thanks again Mariah , I love it. Feel free to grab my button over on the left... I have one now!
