The Beginning

Welcome to my new blog! I am starting this blog because I am beginning a new journey in my life and I want somewhere to ramble about it all. Isn't that what blogs are for? :) In this post I want to talk a little bit about me and how I came up with the name for this blog. It had to be a long name, because I am a total word-geek. Let's just get that truth out of the closet right now. It also had to have a rhythmic flow to it, to satisfy my inner OCD that surfaces for air every once in awhile. I would classify myself as a super-average individual. And I don't mean that in a self-deprecating kind of way. I say it in a I'm-a-really-nice-person-just-not-super-interesting kind of way. I would say I'm one of the world's most talented "homebodies". I know it's a little early in our "writer-reader" relationship, but I'm going to go ahead and pull out a stereotypical Utah-Mormon favorite... I'm going to define that word for you straight out of the-- Webster's Dictionary. Yep, I'm gonna do it :) Homebody: a person who prefers pleasures and activities that center around the home; stay-at-home. That definition perfectly defines me. I am not an adventure taker. I have never had a real desire to travel. I would rather read about different people/places/things out of a really good book in the comfort of my own living room sipping on Diet Coke. I could eat the same kinds of boring food every day for the rest of my life and be content. When I go out to eat I find one thing on the menu I love, and I order it for the rest of my life. I am only telling you all of these un-interesting facts about myself to show you that I really am just an average, everyday homebody. An average, everyday homebody that is being pushed out of my comfort zone and into an adventure by my loving Heavenly Father. This blog will be an honest look at my failures and my successes, my learning and my whining. Here we go...
