day three!

Day 3 - a picture of you and your friends:

These are not my only friends, nor is this the only picture of me and my friends, but it's definitely one of the best in existence.

We're kind of a big deal.

Day two: the meaning behind your blog title


"Daring to be happy" originates from 1 Peter 1:8..."you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy." In this fallen and imperfect world, it really might be easier to spend my life being unhappy, scared, pessimistic, angry, etc. But with the help and love and mercy of my heavenly Father, I dare to be happy. I choose to find the inexpressible and glorious joy that he has provided. So...I am daring to be happy. Every day.

Day one of the blogtastic challenge!

I am making an effort to be more disciplined in the small areas of my life - drinking more water, buying fewer snack foods, not hitting the snooze button, taking vitamins, etc. And in the hopes of facilitating this discipline, I am going to *try* to blog every day for the next 30 days. I Googled "30 day blog challenges" in the hopes of finding inspiration to write, and what do you know? I found a ton! So here it goes: the beginning of my 30 day blog challenge.

Day 1: a recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself:

4. I was on a jumprope team when I was in elementary school and I went to a national competition at Disney World.
