First Post!

First off, if you are visiting my blog, I want to thank you! It has been a dream of mine to write a blog for about a year and a half, and although I don't have everything figured out yet, I am so excited for the journey. I think it took such a long time for me to create a blog because I didn't know what I wanted the focus to be. I also think that it has taken me so long because I wanted it to be perfect, and for the finished product to be complete. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a perfectionist at heart, and I spend way too much time on any project I have. I also have a problem where once I start something, I want it finished instantaneously (cue house decorating post to come haha).  But, here I am, writing a blog that will certainly not be perfect, and I hope will not be "complete" anytime soon. As part of my New Years resolution, I have vowed to be okay with that.

You may be wondering what the focus of the blog will be about, and to be honest, I don't know exactly. Admittedly I have never really kept a journal; I have started probably four or five journals, and each probably only have a few days written down. The only things I truly document are my lesson plans for school! What I am going to attempt to do with this blog is share my life as a newlywed, recent homeowner, high schoolteacher, my fails and triumphs in the kitchen (I am a terrible cook, but a decent baker), my attempts at decorating and styling my house, and my acceptance of being imperfect, all while "thinking out loud." And so it begins......
