I started this blog with no idea what I wanted to talk about. Did I want to portray my life as a wanna-be homemaker? A horseback rider with no goals or knowledge of where I wanted to go with my hobby-turned-lifestyle? Or, my forever-woes of the diet world?
So for a while I blogged about everything. But I still, every time I saw my blog, wanted structure. Life. Love. All those things I long for in my day to day adventures.
So, I bring you my new blog. xo-me.
Why XO-ME you ask?
When Chad and I first met, it was almost a daily ritual for me to leave him a post-it in the morning- in his bathroom, on his computer screen, on the wall...and I'd always sign them very simply. xo-me. It means more to me than it does to you. And that's okay.
Will I change the blog again?
Yes, probably. I will most likely try to create a pretty header and fool around with colors. But I think I've got the "idea" down this time.
So, with a new blog, I will (hopefully) bring you a more organized look into my world, my thoughts, my faith, and my life as a 21 year old soon-to-be college graduate who lives the dream every day.

The joys of not knowing
I've been trying to start this blog for a long time. I write a few posts, but I'm not organized, and so I get flustered and delete all the posts and start over.
Then, I say to myself, "Self, today is the day we start a blog. For good. A real life blog." But the truth is, I've had nothing to blog about. I could write all day about my horse, but it's the same post every time I go to the barn. "Today was pure bliss..." I could blog about my inability to cook, but that's just silly because that's DEFINITELY the same blog. "Set the smoke alarm off today..." I'd be great at the diet blog. "Messed that up again today..."
Today, though, as I sit with statistics notebooks, highlighters, & flash cards all around me, I've decided I'm just going to blog about all of it. Everything. Life. Love. Happiness. (I'll try to remain optimistic.) Maybe I'll share a story about the horse. Maybe I'll find a great recipe. Maybe I'll actually finish a knitting project. (Okay, even I just laughed at that.)
The joy and the beauty about my newfound blog, is that I just don't know what I'll post. And you don't either. Maybe that will be intriguing rather than off-putting. (I don't know!)
Unknowingly yours,
Janelle
