Keep Writing

Sometimes I don't listen well. In fact, ask my husband and he'll tell you I tune him out about 50% of the time. I tend to be so observant of everything else, I miss out on what's most important. I heard the advice to keep writing constantly at Utah State. The only way to improve, of course, is to simply write. 

So, here I am. This isn't going to be anything special or amazing. Just me, a laptop, and my thoughts. Hopefully a few pictures, if we're lucky. 

I always wanted to be a creative writer, but I know I limit myself constantly by saying I'm not good at it. I can write in my hard copy journal for hours. I always think I sound like I'm twelve by the time I'm finished. This is me pushing myself to improve. Stretch my vocab. Push through the boring. Discover the amazing that occurs every day in my life. 

I have so many things I want to remember. To commemorate this first official online journal, blog, diary, whatever, here are a few things that light up my face lately: 

-when Cam looks at me with eyes so full of love

-the way we both lit up when we house sat Max for Bri and Court last night. Get us a puppy, stat. 

-my attempts at cooking, which are getting better 

-the small moments when I lay down and Cam scootches over and molds to me

-the three goals I scored in soccer on Monday. I've still got it baby. 

-personal discoveries: I need a job that pushes me and forces me to excel 

-the Catholic Mass we happened to attend on Sunday (in SPANISH no less. I understood about 5%) 

-learning Spanish together and getting frustrated at my lack of remembering. I will be fluent. 

Welp. Keep Writing. Got it.
