Here’s how it all began…

I love, love, love reading blogs and decided in 2009 I wanted to start my own. However, I am just now, in March 2011, getting around to it. 2009 was a big year for me and I hope to eventually share all about it on this blog. Part of the reason it has taken me so long to start (other than working full-time, socializing, getting sucked in to HGTV, Law&Order:SVU, and Lifetime Movies, and just procrastinating) isn’t that I didn’t have ideas…I had/have too many ideas! I initially thought I’d start a blog that focused on my 365 photo project (taking a picture every single day for a year), but as I took pictures I realized I really like to cook, so maybe I should focus on cooking and recipes? But my husband and I also LOVE to travel, so should I focus on our travels and travel tips? And so on. But this has gone on too long! My plan for this blog is to have no restrictions- I hope to write about all aspects of our life, because life is random. I’m random. So, that’s how this blog will be. I was also a little nervous about my first post (this post) because that’s kind of a big deal, right? Maybe not. Sometimes I build things up in my head and totally over think it, but it’s time to jump “write”in! (ha, get it??) Over the past several months I really started working on my blog design and I have it pretty much where I like it (other than it being completely blank...until now!). I’ve created tabs (hopefully they will work like I’m hoping they will) where I can keep my 365 photos, recipes, travel stories and tips, and DIY projects I hope to get around to…;) I’m still learning a lot about blogger and how to use different features and get things to look how I’d like them to, so bear with me. I hope you will follow along and follow the journeys of my new life as “Mrs. J”.
