30 Day Challenge

I've seen many people do a 30 day challenge on their blog, and most recently started following my Cousin, Tara's, challenge. I started thinking about it, and did some research, and a lot of the people who take on this challenge are attempting to make a habit out of blogging. Where blogging used to be a treat for me it has now become something that strikes a chord of guilt. I put together an awesome book from my first year of blogging and gave it to Tyler for his birthday. He loved it. I think more than I thought he would. Probably weekly or bi-weekly when I get busy, or go through a rough patch, he, pretty politely says, "Remember how much I loved that book. You should try and get caught up.", or "Make sure you put this on the blog". And lately the latter has been a joke we get a pretty good laugh out of because I'm so behind. HOWEVER, though perhaps not as frequently, I have taken pictures, and jotted down things to remember over my absences from the blog and do intend to have a book from each year (none probably as awesome as what I like to call my "honeymoon phase" year). Anyway, long story short, here are the reasons I'm going to do the 30 day challenge. When I do not want to blog I will come read this list--hopefully.

1. I truly do want to make a habit out of blogging.
2. I love the book we have that reminds us of all sorts of memorable happenings our first 2 years of marriage.
3. I love my husband, and he likes to keep record of things. Well, I guess likes ME to keep record of things...but anyway...
4. I have found that if I write one post, I am more apt to go back and catch up on a few other ones since I'm in the bloggy, writey, makin' memories kind o' mood.
5. If I complete this challenge, but a habit is not created, I will at least have documented the next 30 days, (I plan on adding different things to the post other than the original topic) which are going to be a BIG 30 days!!

So, here we go. Unless I fail miserably and don't post another one after today (in which case I probably don't want to hear a WORD about the blog), please motivate me! :)
