Here we go!

Well folks - I finally did it. Although you may not have been aware of it, I have been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time now. I was always hesitant though because I have no specific "theme" for my blog, nor do I feel like I have a particularly exciting life. So, I always wondered, "What will I talk about?" and "Will anyone really read this?" Obviously, after much consideration, I have decided to take the plunge. So, I am going to tell you a little bit about myself, so you will know what to look forward to when you stop by here (or so you can decide that you definitely do not want to bore yourself with this particular page!).

5 things that I love:
1) My wonderful husband
2) Animals
3) Reading
4) Music
5) Fashion (though I often don't look like I do)

5 things that I would like to improve on:
1) Being involved (with my church, with animal rescue, with dance, etc.)
2) Exercise! (I used to be in great shape, and even though I am still skinny, I am most certainly NOT in great shape anymore. I seem to be lacking a lot of the motivation that is needed for this though. Any suggestions?)
3) Worrying less, as I tend to be a bit (okay...a lot) high strung
4) Practicing (piano) more efficiently
5) Keeping in touch with friends - near and far

5 reasons I started this blog:
1) I never take pictures of anything, and I always wish that I did. So, I'm hoping this will give me the motivation to snap away.
2) I am much better at writing things down than I am at expressing things verbally.
3) I want to remain connected, as well as reconnect, to friends. (See previous #5)
4) I am hoping all my devoted readers (ahem...assuming I will have any) will keep me in check with things like exercising and staying involved. (Again, see above)
5) I love reading other blogs and hope that you all will enjoy mine as well. :)

So, that's about it for now. Bear with me, as the blog will probably change a lot over the next few days/weeks as I try to figure this whole thing out. Also, let me know what you like to read about, and what you would like to see when you visit my blog!
