First is the worst

     I feel like the first post is always the most awkward. Do I start out as though I've been writing this blog all along or do I introduce myself and give an explanation as to why I deserve a chance at speaking my mind? I think I'll give a shot at combining the two.
     In the past writing to the vast open world that is the internet I felt this sense of accountability and purpose that writing in a journal or silently fuming did not come close to. If I'm left with my own thoughts I tend to see myself as all knowing and obviously right about everything.....and I'm pretty sure that's not true. When you're forced to think about how others may react to your opinions and thoughts you really start thinking about where your heart is at and what it is about that certain situation that makes you want to tell the world what's going on. Call me crazy but I like that sort of accountability. There are things I hold very strongly to; my faith in Jesus Christ, the role of a mother, marriage, family life, and other such important things, but I also tend to go to the extreme opposite and want to talk about fun things such as movies, crafts, Pinterest!, and so much more. You can also be looking forward to me sharing some fun if not hair pulling stories about mommy hood (More on that in about a week or so, keep your fingers crossed!)
    Let me take a moment right here and now to state the obvious....my spelling is atrocious (I had to use spell check for that word) I'm pretty certain I mentally checked out of all my grammar classes, and I love using parenthesis whether they're appropriately placed or not. I will try my best to edit each post but then again if I missed it the first time chances are I'll miss it again! I'm not a polished college graduate, I'm a beauty school drop out (Literally.)   I do believe that taking the time to spell correctly and use grammar the right way is important so please don't assume I'm some red neck hill billy that thinks school is a waste of time and energy, it's just something I have struggled with for as long as I can remember.
   Along with poor spelling and grammar don't be surprised if my posting is sporadic at best. I may write twice in one day and then not again for two months. It all depends on how badly I want to talk about something and if time allows it :) I wont even try to create a schedule for blogging. I've done that before and ended up just quitting because I was pulling dumb ideas out of the air to write about just so I was writing.
  Hmm...I think that's it. Not too shabby for a first post I guess. I hope you join me on this journey as I continue to grow and learn from this life. Who knows where it will lead us!
