I'm not going to lie. When I first saw the Blog Every Day in May challenge, I thought Jenni must have been joking. I went to her blog and read up on it. And seriously guys, I really think it has the opportunity to pull me out of my blogger rut. She has perfectly designed prompts to help inspire our writing and we get to link up everyday and meet other bloggers writing about the same things as us! So without further ado, the story of my life in 250 words or less.
As you can tell, my life story is kinda complicated. I sat down last night so many times trying to write this post, but it kept getting weird. And of course, my timeline doesn't explain important details like my family, my salvation, or why I moved SO many times. I'm really sad that Sarah isn't blogging anymore, because she used to have posts every Monday called "Missionary Kid Monday." Seriously, I could relate with like 95% of her content. Here's the funny thing though, I've moved so many times, and I've traveled all over this country (25/50 states!), but you can totally notice a trend. I moved to Louisiana in 2011 because it was my sister's home. I was bored in North Carolina, so I decided to pick up my entire life and move to my sister. Let me just tell you, there is a huge difference in how a 12-year-old views Louisiana and how a 21-year-old views Louisiana. Now I'm not trying to say it's the worst place in existence, but personally, I wasn't happy there. Needless to say, North Carolina is my home, for now at least. :)
Make sure you check in on me occasionally throughout the month. I'm going to be trying really hard to keep up with this challenge!
Oh my goodness, you have been all over! I'm curious, do you get nervous to move now that you have moved so many times? I've only moved to 2 different cities (but in the same state) and I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to moving!
ReplyDeleteI actually despise the moving process, but it's been such a great experience! I definitely wouldn't take it back, and would honestly accept a new move in a heartbeat if I knew it was right for me!
DeleteI found your blog through the link up--and it's ADORABLE! And wow, you've really lived all over. I lived in the same place practically my whole life, so I could use some of your advice now since our lifestyle has us moving so often! So glad I was able to find your blog! I'm a fellow NC blogger as well! :)
ReplyDeleteKara! So happy you found my blog! Loving yours as well. I actually love in Louisiana! LOL. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this timeline. I'm definitely a visual person, so this makes me pretty happy. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite part was "it kept getting weird.." Oh girl, your story is short and sweet, and humble & kind. It's impossible to throw a life into 250 words, impossible, but it's a cute idea.
ReplyDeleteooooooooooooooh, and I'm stalking because I totally liked your blog name.
DeleteI love your timeline :) Looks very pretty I too hate moving and have done quite a bit :)
ReplyDeletei decide to do this challenge as well. i wish you well on keeping it up this month too. ( :

I think Jenni is pulling hundreds of people out of their blogger rut! Good luck :)
