Ready, set, break




Today in relief society when they announced the topic of the lesson was journalling I'll admit, I totally rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone planning to find better things to do for the next 45 minutes. I mean come on, journalling? That's why we take pictures, no one has time for that. However, as I half listened to the lesson while trying to find something on Pinterest I could make for dinner, I found myself feeling guilty as people shared all of these cool experiences they had had with journalling. That's when I realized I suck and should do better and journalling. My biggest thing that has made me a three times a year journaler is that I hate writing. By writing I mean using a pen or pencil and my terrible handwriting to write stuff down, I actually really love writing and feel like I've always been pretty good at it. Lets face it though, everyone types everything now so that can't be my excuse anymore. Lately I've been toying with the idea of a blog, but I feel like every single mormon girl starts a blog as soon she gets married and I didn't want to be that girl (not that it's a bad thing) I just don't feel like anyone want's to read sappy posts about how much I love my husband and how I cry almost every day because I can't have a dog yet.  But a blog honestly seems like they best way for me to actually keep a record of my life, I do feel really bad that I haven't written much down about my first year of being married because it honestly has been the best year of my life. For now this blog is going to stay private, I'm just going to use it as a way for me to keep track of my life, but maybe one day I'll get over my weirdness about sharing personal stuff to lots of people and I will publish it. For now, my goal is just to write once  week. Ready, set, break.
