**I have had 2 blogs in my life, and I have been very hit and miss when it comes to blogging on both. I may go a month without blogging and then all of a sudden blog 4 times in a week. What I really need to do is find a happy medium and be consistent with blogging. After I write a couple of blogs, I get excited about blogging and form a bit of a habit. I actually really enjoy blogging and have stuff I want to share with all of you; I'm just lazy and never right. I'm going to to change that though! So with that, here is a shorter blog that will hopefully whet your appetite for more blogs soon.

As you read, I enjoy blogging. In fact, I spent a lot of last summer and part of last semester blogging for fun. I wrote about things going on in my life and books I read (sidenote: I'm kind of a bookworm. And by kind of, I mean if I had hours to read every day, I would. I freaking love reading!). If you want to get a glimpse of what I read last year and really enjoyed, or just want to read some of my rants and see where I was last year spiritually, check out:

At the end of last year, I saw that a few of my friend were planning on doing this thing in 2011 called "A Picture a Day." It's exactly what it sounds like. Every day you take a picture of something that you experienced and compile them so that on December 31st, you have 365 pictures. I always want to take more pictures, so I also decided to do this. It has actually been really fun, and now I have 46 pictures (as of today) that summarize this year for me. It's amazing how one picture makes me remember so much more about what I've done this semester. While it is blowing by way too quickly (I'll probably write several blogs about that), It's cool seeing everything fun that I've done. In addition to the pictures, I post them online with a description of what I did during that day. If you want to check it out, go to:

You can see how many times I've been able to go to the beach, Disneyland, and snowboarding this year. Yes, I am so blessed it's not even funny. I love being able to make the most of my final semester here. God is good!

Don't worry, I'll be writing about more serious stuff soon enough. I just wanted to let you all know about some other ways you can keep up with me.
