hello and welcome

So obviously, I've started a blog. It's something I've meant to do for a long time now, but just haven't. I love to write, and used to journal all the time, but it's one of those things that just slipped away as life and routines and being an adult start getting in the way. But writing is therapeutic for me--to get things out on paper (or, "paper") makes all my thoughts, ideas, and genius little nuggets of wisdom (ha) become more real, more solidified, more resolute. Usually people have some purpose for their blog, like talking about sports or writing about their kids or something. I don't really plan on having a purpose here, as I don't have all that much new and exciting going on by most people's terms. But I think life is an adventure, which ought to be documented, thought about, questioned, and lived in community and fellowship, and I think sharing my writing with you is a way to do that. One thing that will be a little bit structured here will be outlining the activities of my days/weeks/months/whatever period of time has passed in between blogs, just for an update. So, enjoy. Or don't, either way. Godspeed. Today's Adventures: --Creating a Blog (surprising, right?) --Cupcakes with the Bastiens. I love this new tradition SO much. --Dinner with UC leaders at our house. (newness and sharing and ideas and fajitas, could it get any better? No.)
