The Best Laid Plans...

My to-do list is never-ending (whose isn't?) But I'm not talking about the everyday pay-the-bills, clean-the-house tasks. I'm talking about my constantly evolving list of personal projects: preserving the best memories of the last four years of my life in photo albums, amassing all my recipes into one convenient location, starting a blog...

GASP! The dreaded blog.

I've been avoiding this for so long because I have this terrible enthusiasm problem...in that I have way too much of it. I'm always excited to tackle my next big idea, but rarely do I stick with it long enough to see it amount to anything. So I thought a good New Year's resolution might be to start, and MAINTAIN, a blog (and yes, I really do start planning my resolutions this far in advance.) But knowing my track record for keeping said resolutions, I figured I could benefit from getting an early start. That way, when I inevitably neglect this blog for weeks at a time, I can bypass the feeling of "well I already ruined my resolution, might as well give up" and just press on! At least, that's the plan.


Now that Justin and I have moved across the country and away from home for the first time, I thought a blog would be the best way to share our many new adventures with our friends and family. The blog title came from the song lyrics of one of my favorite country artists, Alan Jackson. It seemed like the perfect fit because although we've loved each other for almost four years, being married has finally given us the opportunity to really learn what it means to do life together, the way God intended it. And THAT is the real adventure and what I hope to share through this blog. Thanks for joining us on the ride!
