Hello NaBloPoMo!

Let's give this a try....NaBloPoMo = is a month long writing exercise intended to occur annually in November. This means that I'm supposed to publish one post everyday on my blog. It can be words or pictures or both. Since I've tried many times to restart this blog, let's see if this inspires me. It's not that I don't want to post, it's a matter of taking time. It is easier to post my pictures to FaceBook (because I can upload the ones from my phone right to FB). And I don't even know who reads this blog anymore....ahh, who cares, it's my journal and I do love looking back on past posts.

To get this started, I will just introduce myself....(as if strangers read my blog...haha!) - I live in the midwest with my family - husband and daughter who is "4 and 3/4's", as she tells me. We have a dog - Bo. He is 8 years old and LOVES to hunt (with my husband, of course...what, you thought I was the one that takes him hunting...ha, far from it!). I love to scrapbook and my "season" is just starting up. I tend to take the summer months off. Being that we live in the midwest, I have to soak up as much of the outdoors that I / we can in those summer months, so scrapbooking is saved for the months when it is really to cold to be outside anyway. That being said, my husband would prefer if my "season" would be Jan. - August (aka...non hunting months)...but, that isn't the case and he knew that when he married me (heehee...really he did :)), so the deal is that I get one weekend in November to escape to a land of scrapbooking...ahh, how I love thee! He is always more than happy to give me that weekend too....haha.

Anywhoo, other things that I love besides my family and scrapbooking...

• Photography
• Blogging
• Decorating (although on a limited budget, I still love it)
• Spending time with my girlfriends
• Traveling (ahh, white sand beaches, blue ocean water, cocktails, no interuptions, relaxation....)
• Minnesota Vikings (although really tough this year....I do love Brett Favre though - Viking or Packer - one of the best quarterbacks of all time)

Things I inspire to do....

• To be organized - I really do dream about this for any of my friends who read this and know me :)
• To do something with my love of photography, besides just taking family pics and scrapbooking them
• To be debt free
• To own a new (new to us) Acadia or Traverse for me and a new F150 for my honey

That's it for today....I've got the rest of the month to tell you more about me or to show you pics of my beautiful family and friends.

Until tomorrow.....
