...hi....?

Guys.
I don't even know where to begin!
Do you remember what I look like?
Here's a picture.

I was reading my normal list of blogs the other day, and saw the title of my blog in someones feed and it said the last time I blogged was 4 months ago.

4 months!

This whole time I haven't been writing because I felt like I had nothing to say.
Ah, life isn't that exciting - I'll just not document it. 

And really, I've carried that attitude into my daily life. When my friends or people around me ask how I am or what I've been up to I just smile and say, "I'm boring, there's never a whole lot going on."

Isn't that ridiculous? I should be celebrating the ordinary in my life! Goodness, next time someone asks me how I am - I'm going to tell them that I just had the best bowl of cereal IN MY LIFE that morning!

Isn't that how life should be?

So anyway, lets talk about the picture up there of Shaner and myself. One night, we were waiting for our friends to come over and I was real excited because I had just made a fresh batch of cookies and the whole house was just engulfed with that warm, gooey, smooth cookie smell. And it was just beautiful outside. Ya know, the kind of weather that literally pulls you off the couch. So - I went outside to sit with Shane in the garage and he leans over the hood of the car and asks, " hey you, can I take you for a ride on the 4- wheeler?"

UM - YES.
It was kind of worded like a first date question that makes your cheeks pink - but without the awkward sweaty hand holding.

I tell him that I'll only go if he goes slow.
And he tells me he'll only drive in 3rd gear the whole time.
And halfway through the ride I learned that hats fly off real easy, and that he had been driving in 5th gear for the majority of the time.

So, all that to say - I'M BACK!
