A Huge Check Off The Bucket List

I can't believe this is officially blog post #1! I have been debating on starting a blog for awhile now.  I read and follow so many blogs...it's one thing that I have always been drawn to, but didn't know what I would blog about.  Then I had this idea, what if I just blog for myself?  I'll blog not for anyone else, but for myself.  It's a place for me to keep a digital "scrapbook" to document my life.  It's a place for me to gather all of my passions, all the thoughts going on in my head, etc.  This is a place for ME, but if it helps bring others happiness, I'll be more than overjoyed! :) 


About the name...

Wonderfully Vanilla came up after A LOT of brainstorming, discussions, and debates on how exactly I wanted to go about this new adventure.  I want to blog about my life, which in general is pretty vanilla (aka normal).  However, I also wanted to blog about the wonderful things in my life, the things that make me really excited and that make me who I am...I'm talking:

++ my incredible husband (Nate)
++ my best friends
++ my blessed family
++ food 
++ fashion
++ the wonderful world of puppies & dogs
++ and so much more

Throughout the process of starting this blog, these are the main things that I have been excited to "document".  I am so excited to start this adventure that I have had on my bucket list!  I know that God has led me to this as a way to encourage me to stay focused on my passions (including God himself).  The combination of my vanilla way of life combined with the wonderful parts of my life, is what makes my life "Wonderfully Vanilla" and I am BEYOND thankful for it!
