4 days!

4 days.

Yup, in 4 days, I’ll be posting the link to the brand new blog!

Here’s a hint, there’ll be a giveaway!

Here’s another hint, there will be pictures of the house!

Who’s excited?

This girl is, for sure.

Please don’t think I’ve abandoned you…I’ve just been so busy getting the other ones all nice for you…I promise.

See you then!

New blog ideas?

Hey guys, I know how fun it is for me to sit here and write all about our life, but today, it’s time for you to tell me some stuff instead, ok?

Ok?

Come on, I know you can do it.

It’s not hard, I promise. You just leave a quick comment. It won’t hurt, and it will even be fun.

Especially fun for me as I will get to read all your awesome feedback.

But seriously, please.

Ok.

Good.

Now that I’ve convinced you to play along with that, here’s what I want to know:

I’m going to be making some blog changes, hopefully transitioning some business-end stuff like hosts and domains, etc. But also reworking the theme and content sections for what I’ll write about. I want to know what you like most about reading my posts, what you dislike, what annoys you and makes you stop reading. What makes you laugh and want to keep reading.

You get the idea. Tell me what you like to read about.

And then hopefully, once I get all my stuff together, I’ll be able to give you just that, only in a brand new home in my own little corner of the blogosphere.

Ready?

Go!

A to Z challenge…Day One

Ok guys, you may have seen this around on others’ blogs you follow. You may have seen this because you’re planning to do it on your blog…

But I’m also joining in on the party. Not because of peer pressure.

Of course not!

You really think I would give in to things like that?

That’s right. I was a DARE graduate. I was even a DARE essay winner. So I know all about peer pressure and how to “Just say no!” Plus, my mom is reading so I have to sound like I’m big and tough and never give in to peer pressure.

In reality, I do give in to peer pressure. Why else would I play soccer every Thursday night with a bunch of big boys I don’t know who are way better than me?

(Other than that it’s super fun to play with the only other girl that ever comes?)

Anyway, this has nothing at all to do with what I want to tell you about, which is this A to Z blogging challenge thingy.

Basically, for the month of April, I’ll be blogging every day (minus a few break days built in) using a letter of the alphabet as a guide for the topic.

Here’s the host website. 

I’m doing this for several reasons, none of which include peer pressure.

1. I like the alphabet. Geeky reason? Yes, but I like letter-themed activities. Always have, always will. And I’m not ashamed.

2. I like lists. See posts like this and this if you need proof of that.

3. I think I’ll enjoy the challenge of thinking of a letter-themed topic for my list everyday. Why wouldn’t that be super-duper fun and exciting, being that I love letters and lists…

We’re supposed to pick a theme, so I’m picking “Getting to know each other” as my theme as a continuation of this week’s “I’m Thankful for YOU!” post.”

So, each day, I’ll tell you something about Wyatt and I, and you tell me something about yourself!

I’m hoping it will be something you don’t already know about us, but for those you that are related to us, that may be harder to accomplish. I’m sure there will also be some lessons about marriage and communication and learning to live together and all that other typical newlywed blog stuff as well.

I’ll try to pick easy topics. You’ll see tomorrow how it will all work out.

You in?

Because you should.

Come on! Just do this with me!

It will be so fun!

All the cool kids are doing it!

See what I did there?

The peer pressure’s getting to you isn’t it?

 

New Look!

Hi all!

Just a quick post to say it’s time to do some redecorating around here!

So, please forgive me if things are a bit turned around or rearranged. And be watching for new looks, and new links to check out!

P.S. I got the background I’m currently using here.  (And so far, so good.)

100th Post…

I had to make a little note to say Thanks! for reading. The previous post  was my 100th, and I’m getting close to having 10,000 total views! All since the end of July. Sheesh.

All I can say is WOW!

Thanks so much for reading, subscribing, and of course for the comments. I LOVE hearing from you!

And as a side note, did you notice the new little button on the top right of my screen? I’ve been nominated as a Top Marriage Blog for 2011, and I’d love if readers would go there and vote! Even if you don’t vote for me, there’s a huge list of marriage blogs that are also great reads and good marriage resources. Check it out, and vote!
