exciting

Doing something exciting just so you can blog about it is OK. Even if that's your only motivation, you are still doing something exciting. It's also OK if that exciting thing that you do just so you can blog about it is starting a blog. That is my exciting thing for the day. I hope blogging encourages me to do a million more exciting things.

There are also a lot of things in life that are less exciting--things that are hard, challenging, and ugly. I hope blogging encourages me to look for significance in the less exciting things, to reflect on them, and to grow.

I'm excited for my little new exciting blog, kisses & cake. I have a lot of ideas and plans for routines, weekly posts, series, etc. I can't wait to share a little bit of my life with you, so stay tuned.

(Also, I'd be remiss to not offer special thanks to my super good friend Jenn who blogs over at earl grey and the hubs, Daniel. I don't remember who said "you should blog" first, but you kept saying it and it finally stuck, I guess. Thanks for the encouragement, you two. I hope this is exciting for us all.)

For now, though, I know I rarely read the words in any blog post--it's all about the pictures. Here's a few pictures from my wedding to hold you over. Daniel and I got married 53 days ago and our perfect wedding photographer was Ryan of Ryan Doyle Photography.

blessings & peace,
