The world of blogging...

    "Hi!"...that's as much as I've got.  I have no idea how to start this thing.  Do I crack a joke?  Do I introduce myself as if this was a boring 'Get to Know Me' essay? Do I launch right into my first entry?  How about a mixture of all three?

    I hadn't ever thought of myself as the 'blogging' type, but the more that I faithfully read other people's entries, I thought I'd give it a whirl.  I'm really not sure what types of things I'm going to write about, but I'm looking forward to figuring that out as I go.  

   

    A few things to know:

• I married my best friend on January 28th, 2012.  He's absolutely wonderful!  I have a multitude of nick-names for him, all of which I'm sure you'll see in this blog ;) We bought our first house in October, and we're having a blast turning it into our home.  

                           

• I'm currently a student at the University of Oregon, studying to get my Masters Degree in elementary education. I also earned my Bachelor's Degree from the UO.  Go Ducks! 

• I absolutely LOVE the Lord.  I was born again in April 2010, and my life has been amazing ever since.  The Husby (see...those nick-names) and I are members of a wonderful New Testament Church and we're so thankful, and humbled, to be able to serve the Lord in the way that He would have us to. 

• I love to bake desserts, decorate cakes, cross stitch, paint, cook and do other general artsy-crafty things :) 

•  ...oh, and I'm addicted to Pinterest  ;)
