This is our horse, Rocket. He really doesn’t have anything to do with
this entry, but you should keep reading anyway.
Why am I blogging?
Well, my hubby, Jon and I, are perpetually falling in love, and we are
chasing our dreams with our two beautiful boys (and ANOTHER baby on the
way! Whhhhaaaat? Yeah, I guess we like babies a little bit.) And I guess I just want to brag tell
you about it. I think there is a lot of
excitement in life if you ride the line between choosing to be brave and risk
doing something stupid. We can serve as
an example of riding that line, and you’ll see that when we mess up life is
still great and there is so much to enjoy.
I want to spread the word that it is worth risking hard times to live
the life you want…or you can all just laugh at our hysterical naivety that I
prefer to call optimism, and continue in your cynicism as we continue to have a
great time in this adventure. Did I just come across as cynical…
definitely not. I could never have such
a vice.
Back to my
Where was I? Oh
yeah. Both our boys are so beautiful, so
smart, so funny, and so loving! So,
maybe somewhere between all the things we don’t do quite right, we’re getting
something right.
That brings us to 2012.
We live in Kentucky, Y’all!! We
have been trying to move here for 3 years!
We probably could have just walked down here in that amount of time, but
that’s not our style. Our style is going
on and on for years about our big plans and how it’s going to happen any day…
then one day, the man (Hubby’s company) FINALLY calls up and says “Sure! Come work in Kentucky, where the land is
beautiful (and inexpensive) and it’s slightly warmer and awesome because they
have Ale 8 in abundance – look it up.” Then,
we say “OKAY!!” We pack up enough stuff
to fill a camper; we sell our house; we find and buy our little slice of Heaven.
Now we are Wildcat fans! ). Isn’t that every little girl’s dream? Fall in love, kids, wildcats? Something like
that.
So now that I have officially started this blog, what can
you expect to find here? I’m sure to go on and on wrestling with homebuilding
decisions (like, whether or not to line the boys rooms with padding – just
kidding, sound proofing should suffice), parenting dilemmas, more bragging about
my spouse, and all the hilarity that is sure to ensue with a family of 4 (soon-to-be
5) uprooting, settling, building, and playing in this beautiful land! Also, I like to fantasize about being a
photographer (www.facebook.com/MelissaHeffelfingerPhotography),
so I’ll probably throw some of that in there too. What you will NOT find on this blog is an expert
opinion on anything. There will be
plenty of opinions, but what they will lack is an expert source.
Tomorrow I’ll post some photos to show you how
our dreams are materializing.
Melissa this is awesome. I have started one too. You have inspired me to do so. I have been thinking about it for a long time now! Just started yesterday. I am at www.faithful61blogspot.com. I hope it comes up for you. I will post some of Gpa's poems for you to read as well. I love you and keep the writing going. You have a gift! I love you.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks, Faith!! That's so great. I'll look yours up! I look forward to seeing Grandpa's poems too!
