this is a test of the emergency blogcast system

geez, it's been so long since I posted anything I've forgotten how to do it!

Lots of new things are on my plate this year, so I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things here and really focus more on my blog. I've been wanting to really do it for years - so I've decided...

TODAY IS THE DAY!

So many things have been keeping me from doing it. I am an excuse maker. Oh how I hate to admit that. But it's true. If I'm being completely honest with myself, I'm also a horrible procrastinator. I kept telling myself that my blog design wasn't pretty enough, my pictures weren't good enough, I didn't have the time to make the blog exactly how I wanted it to be. So I gave up. I quit.

Well, basically I never even tried.

I've decided, though, that if I don't change myself - who will do it for me?

NO ONE. That's right. I will keep procrastinating. I will keep making excuses. My life will stay stagnant - in the exact same place it's always been. No growth. No new challenges. No new joys.

I don't want to be that person anymore.

So here I am. I'm setting new goals. I'm trying new things. And I'm inviting you all to join me in the adventure. I know I have one reader out there who hasn't given up on me yet, so thank you!

I've got lots of things I want to blog about...
  • We're finishing up a rehab house that is turning out to be quite charming, if I do say so myself.  Stay tuned this week for some pics.
  • We're in the process of selling our current house, so I hope to offer some great tips and advice on how to spruce up your home to get it ready to put on the market.
  • Newsflash - we finally have a house plan!! woo hoo! Hopefully we'll start building this spring/summer. My handy hubby is the general contractor so we hope to offer detailed info on how to build a custom home on a very tight budget! 
  • And last but not least - we're finally taking the kiddos to Disney! We are super excited and gearing up for a fun spring break in a few months. I'll offer some tips on how to pack and stay sane while taking 3 kiddos on a 16 hour road trip :)
Stay tuned....over and out!
