The start of a new blog

So I'm finally doing it. After months of reading other people's blogs and secretly longing for my own, I got up the courage to start.

I got married seven months ago and I have no idea how to be a wife or homemaker. I am currently extremely messy, a terrible cook, and pretty bad at managing my time. However, little by little I am growing and learning. And so I will use this blog to document my journey into womanhood. This includes my cooking and crafting experiments, my attempts to keep our apartment (relatively) clean and organized, and anything else that might help me (and maybe even you) to grow.

How will this blog be different from all the other blogs out there? What will make it special? I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

Speaking of waiting to find out. For the past few months I have been trying to wake up early. One of my favorite things in the whole world is sleeping. Very few things in this world can compare to the feeling of lying in my bed, snuggled in a blanket, snoozing for "just five more mintues". And so I sleep, and I sleep, and I sleep...This usually means waking up at 8:15 and rushing to get ready and get out the door. No breakfast, no bible study, no prayer. And the results are not pretty. Poor Daniel!

Every night I tell myself, "Tomorrow will be the day!", and then wait to find out if it really is. It never is. But this afternoon I came across an article called Establishing a Morning Routine and I realized I can't just wait around until I feel like getting out of bed. That's never going to happen. I have to plan for it, and tackle it little by little.

So tomorrow the goal is to wake up 15 minutes earlier than I already do for some much needed quiet time.

So 7:45, here I come!
