Why the blog?

I decided to start this blog for a number of reasons:
1) to share my stories with friends and family as I take on the adventures of life
2) to find a home for my thoughts about life, faith and the world around me
3) to hold myself accountable for the goals and aspirations I commit to
4) to archive what happens in my life - the good, the tough and the quirky. :-) 

You may be wondering why I titled my blog as I did. I have an adventurous soul. I believe that life is defined by the times when you don't know what lies ahead, but instead of running scared, you put your faith in God, close your eyes, say a prayer and jump in anyways. I try to live my life this way. Whether it be trying new recipes, going back to school, loving a soldier, starting a new exercise routine or anything else thrown my way. I know that God gives me the strength I need take on the challenges of life and that He has a greater plan than I can imagine. 

So welcome and settle in for the ride - the words may make you smile, they may make you cry, and I hope at times they make you laugh so hard you fall off your chair!

    1. Maddy,
      Thanks so much for the kind message! It was so nice to hear from you and would love to catch up sometime. I will be home for Thanksgiving, so let me know if you want to get together for coffee or something! Thanks again for the message, it made my day!

  2. Hi Netta Grandma gave me your blog id so I have read all and thoroughly and really got a laugh out of the cockroachs. I detest them. Had them once 61 years ago when we lived in an appt. Lady moved in downstairs and brought them with her. My friend and I fought them till they were gone! So happy for you that John is close by. God will see that you can get together. Best of luck on your schooling. Have a happy thanksgiving. Love Donna
