for starters

A blog. As of this moment I have a blog.
For no apparent reason last night, I decided "Tomorrow, I am going to make a blog." I have no clue what I'm doing and wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it wasn't read by the general population. And I am okay with that.
To be redundant, I had no clue how or where to start. And then I remembered last night, while reading another blog I saw a challenge, 30 pictures in 30 days. I imagine it's completely tacky to borrow something from another blog. However, it's a great way for me to start. The only thing I need to do is remember to do it every day. I forget everything, so this is challenge within a challenge. And how much of an epic fail would it be if I couldn't remember to it?

The days are as follows:
`Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts
`Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.
`Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.
`Day 04 - A picture of your night.
`Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.
`Day 06 - A picture of a person you’d love to trade places with for a day.
`Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.
`Day 08 - A picture that makes you laugh.
`Day 09 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.
`Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.
`Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.
`Day 12 - A picture of something you love.
`Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.
`Day 14 - A picture of someone you could never imagine your life without.
`Day 15 - A picture that shows your true self.
`Day 16 - A picture of someone who inspires you.
`Day 17 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.
`Day 18 - A picture of someone who has taught you many of things in life.
`Day 19 - A picture of you when you were little.
`Day 20 - A picture of somewhere you’d love to travel.
`Day 21 - A picture of something you want to do before you die.
`Day 22 - A picture that makes you sad.
`Day 23 - A picture of your favorite book.
`Day 24 - A picture of something you wish you could change.
`Day 25 - A picture of your day.
`Day 26 - A picture of someone that means a lot to you.
`Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.
`Day 28 - A picture of something you’re afraid of.
`Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.
`Day 30- A picture of someone you miss.

Here I go:

-- Day 1: A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.


1. I spend entirely way to much time on Facebook, thanks to the mobile application on my phone.
2. I live in Louisiana. Which has been made official with the hanging of picture frames and the fact that I just unpacked our master bedroom, two months after living here.
3. I have two children. Under two. I wouldn't have it any other way. Emma and Declan are my life.
4. I am nearly always late. Which you might assume is because of my children. It's mainly because I have horrible time management.
5. I hate milk.
6. I love to read. However, I don't remember the last time I read something that didn't have pictures or rhyme.
7. I share my husband every day with the United States Army. I am a United States Army Wife. It's all I've known as a spouse so I'm not exactly sure how it differs from a "civilian" wife or "civilian" marriage.
8. I wish I could bake. I want to bake cakes and cupcakes and decorate them myself.
9. I'm a flip flop type of girl. However, I can appreciate a good heel.
10. I fell in love with New Jersey years ago. Before it was cool. Before MTV showed everyone The Shore.
11. I love iced coffee. I love hot coffee. I love just love coffee.
12. I love Washington. The general population a little strange and they aren't great at driving, but I love the weather (including the rain), the trees, the mountains, everything. I miss it very much.
13. I email my mama every work day and send her pictures of my kiddos every single day.
14. I have a beautiful family. I miss them very much. Family comes first. Always.
15. I am happy every day. I may not be happy all day every day. But I am happy every day.
