A New Beginning

So, church starts at 1 now, and I've been contemplating reopening this blogging thing for a bit now. I have a whole morning to procrastinate getting ready, and mentally decide what I'm going to wear, so why not throw one more thing in to better edify my Sunday? I'm terrible at Sundays.

Honestly, I've been receiving the impression for a while that I need to write my life down to remember. I need to focus my talents and turn my internet time into a more constructive outlet. And I hope blogging will give me that structure. I'm terrible at structure.

For some reason, I'm a little nervous typing this. I'm not sure why. I honestly don't even expect anyone to read this; this blog is really for me and my family. I just keep reminding myself, I'm doing this to better myself as a person, and to record for posterity the growth the inevitability happens.

I find it fascinating. This blog is almost 5 years old. I hesitate to change the description above, because that is still me. The description of 20 year old Jennifer above is still me! Yesterday I went to Starbucks and bought caramel apple cider, but I went with Andrew. He is a big part of my life story now. I am still that person, but now I'm a little bit more. I have grown.

A couple of things about the structure and format of what is to come:

  • I'm wordy. And jump around in thought. 
  • Occasionally, I'm short and vague. Interpret as you wish.
  • If this blog is go anything thing like my journal entries, a good half of them will end abruptly with no real conclusion. I have a tendency to write journal entries really early in the morning or really late at night, and I always have to be supremely cozy. Falling asleep is inevitable. And then the next morning, I'm like, "Whatever.", and will probably post it anyway. It's the thought that counts, right?
  • Layout of the blog will change with time, I really feel that content is more important right now. I'm excited about learning how to manipulative HTML, but that will take time.

So, anyway, I need to get ready for church now, especially considering, in the mental planning of my outfit, I have decided to paint my nails, adding 15 minutes onto my routine.

Well, this was fun, and more to come soon!
