Welcome Back - Attempt Number Two

Well, here I go again! After almost 3 years of neglect, I am going to take another stab at this whole blogging thing! Back when I first started this blog, I had just discovered the fabulous and ENORMOUS world of blogging. Although I did not expect that my blog would amount to much, I still put pressure on myself to write posts that were interesting and eloquent or to attempt DIY projects and post step by step instructions as well as before and after photos. I was reading blog after blog that had countless followers due to the creativity each blog possessed. I felt overwhelmed. Eventually, I gave up because I convinced myself that I had nothing worth writing about.

Fast forward two and a half years. A lot has changed in my life. I am still not convinced that I am a great writer and that anyone, other than myself, would take the time to read what I have to say, but I am starting to realize the value of having my own blog. This realization comes in the form of my sweet baby boy and my desire to document his life and life with him. No pressure. No expectations. Just a place for me to record memories that maybe one day will be read by my children, grandchildren and so on.

So, even though I have a lot of catching up to do...challenge accepted!

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Blogging!!!

Well, after months of creeping on other people's blogs and envying how much imagination and creativity is out there, I decided to take the plunge and start my own blog. I must admit that I am not exactly sure what I will even post about because if you ask me, I have a fairly uneventful life, but perhaps I just might suprise myself!

A little bit about myself, which I am really only sharing with myself considering I don't have any followers or readers since this is my very first post...oh well!!!

I am married. His name is Bryan and I love him.

I am a 3rd year Nursing student at the University of Lethbridge.

I love animals. I have a cat named Bella and two fish named Debra and Peter.

I enjoy crafts, scrapbooking, decoarting cakes, cooking and I have a new-found love of home decorating (thanks to my blog creeping over the summer)!

I am now a proud member of 2 very awesome families, with more brothers and sisters than I can count on two hands and even more nieces and nephews! What more could a person ask for? I am very blessed indeed.

My husband and I bought a condo this summer, our very first home! Poor guy had to sell the love of his life (no, not me...his 2007 Ford Mustang GT/CS) so that we could afford it. Thanks Bry, you're the best :)

After we took possession of our new place in mid August, we spent 2 weeks before we moved in painting and putting new carpet in the bedrooms. Now I have just been adding my own touch with my new found decorating abilities. Once it is all done I will post pictures of the finished product.

That's all for now!
