First Time for Everything

Well, I can't believe I actually have a blog. For a couple of months now I have enjoyed reading blogs of some of my friends...and I have become somewhat addicted. I have gotten into reading friends of friends' blogs...and I must say find it very entertaining. After reading my friend Tesney's blog, I have been going to her links and have really gotten into this whole "blogging thing"! So, here I am with one of my own. My husband, Tim, thinks it is hilarious. Mainly because for so long I have been saying, "Oh, I'll never have a blog. No, I just don't have time for that. I really don't have that much to say. No, that is just not me." Ha! Ha! Yesterday, I told him I was thinking of setting one up, and I thought he would never stop laughing. He asked me what I planned on naming it and I told him I was hoping he could help me with that. He responded with, "I've got it! A Woman with The Perfect Man." No, sorry Tim, can't do it. I asked my four year old daughter, Riley, and she said, "You need to call it Journal Perilocity." (She loves to make up words. Do all four year olds do this?) When I asked her what that meant, she said, "Full of Joy." Well, ok. I decided after listening to one of my favorite groups, Rascal Flatts, to go with Everyday Love. Every day is filled with an everyday love for my husband, children, friends and family. I truly "can't get enough of this everyday love." I hope with this blog I can keep all of our family and friends near and far updated on our life, reconnect with old friends, and make new connections, as well.

So far this year, I have several firsts to boast about. 1. I have and am currently sticking to a Bible reading plan. It is so amazing to read stories I haven't ever read before. It takes you through the Old Testament once, the Gospels four times, the New Testament twice and each day of the month a chapter from Proverbs. 2. Since January, I have been a regular member of a fitness club, and feel like I am in pretty good shape. It is weird to say, but I almost feel addicted to exercise. 3. I have started running. For about two weeks now, I have been running about 3 times a week. I really enjoy it and love the feeling of getting a good run in. My husband is an avid runner, and is planning on running a marathon in December. I think I will just stick to running a 5K this fall. 4. Last, but not least, I have my own blog. Wow! I feel technologically advanced!

Welcome, Anna! I really enjoyed your first post. I'm impressed with all your firsts. I had no idea about you running...that's very cool! Happy posting, buddy!

wow! it sure is crazy that whole seven degree thing! Tesney has got herself some connections! I feel like her link up with Kristy, who was linked up to me, has opened up a whole new world of bloggers to keep up with! It's like the seven degrees of Tesney. I have heard "nana" (What we call Jamin's mom) speak of you and your mom before. How neat! I cannot wait to tell her you found me! I'll keep reading if you keep posting...oh and thanks for inspiring me some more on the running thing...I need to step it up.

Welcome to the Asylum.

If Tim had a blog, it would only be about Orange Gatorade.

Hopefully, you will write about more than that.

Just have fun with it.
