First Blog Post Ever

This is my first blog post ever!!! What's sad is I just learned what blogging was in the last few months. I feel like I'm living in the stone age... HaHa. I wanted to start this blog to keep everyone up to date on me and my life since I live so far away from home. I will try and blog a few times a week, but I feel so scatterbrained right now, it's not even funny!!!!

We are living in Florida now, which I thought would be a world of difference from Louisiana; however, the town we are in is very similar to our small hometown because it's also small, everyone knows everyone else, and we have an incredible church family out here that has kind of become our surrogate family since we are 700 miles away from the bayou state.

We moved here on March 5, 2011, and we are loving every minute of it. There is one big difference between Florida and Louisiana...We live 15 minutes from the most beautiful beaches ever! David, my husband, spends most of his down time at the beach surfing. He sometimes gets home from work while it's still daylight and hits the beach while he can. He is in the Navy, so his work schedule doesn't allow much downtime. It's something he loves to do and it makes me happy that he has a sport that is so much fun. I love to surf (or at least attempt to get up on the board), but I cannot do it anymore. No worries, it's a good thing! I'm pregnant!!! (But more on that subject in a later post).

I must give you fair warning...I am not ashamed of anything, so some of my posts may seem a little blatant and you may feel like a little TMI is shared, but that's me. I am open about everything that goes on in my life, and this new adventure of pregnancy is just crazy!!!!! Although, I will keep it rated PG. I will also title some of my posts "warning: girls only". I feel like that is enough of a warning to let guys know that they should be careful before they read the following post. I'm not candid about stuff going on in my life, the good, the bad and the ugly! haha.

The things I will talk about are subjects such as faith, pregnancy, marriage, friends, church, family, girl stuff, and probably a ton of other things. I appreciate everyone's opinions, beliefs, advice, etc., but I ask that everyone that comments use clean language and do not be pushy. What I mean is, everyone, including me, has different opinions and beliefs about a lot of different things. I love to receive advice, recommendations, and to hear about others' experiences, but please do not push these on me or anyone else. I want this blog to be enjoyable for everyone and would really like to keep in touch with family and make new friends through it.

I'm so excited to share my adventures in life and hope that everyone enjoys!!!!!
