Things

I'm going to attempt keeping a blog and hopefully I will succeed.
A part of me wants to be able to write these long (or short) wonderful post that people will enjoy reading and another part of me thinks, well the people that will actually be interested in reading also have a phone and I could just call them! :) But maybe I should make myself do it just because I need to get over feeling like whatever I write will sound like a 7 year old just learning to spell and punctuate, or just sound dumb.

Since getting married I've found myself doing plenty of things that I said I never would do, even tho they were simple things, I just basically didn't have the patience and want to take the time to do them. A couple of those things are....
1. French braiding hair, especially little people hair. When mom would tell me I needed to learn how to french braid because, "one day I was going to have little girls that would need there little fine pieces of hair out of they're face" , I would just look at her and say "Oh don't worry I'll just bring them to you and let you do it!" And now here I am and I've mastered the art of french braiding.
2. Sewing. Once again it's not that I didn't want to sew I just didn't have the patience to sew because when I did attempt sewing something I would end up ripping out more that I actually did sewing. So therefor I just wouldn't sew at all. But here I am a few weeks ago find myself wanting to sew something. Well I got out my sewing machine and got a bobbin run :) and then found the material I had & decided to try making the girls and I some skirts. But first I found some material that looked good in our bathroom and made a curtain since we didn't have one, and it turned out looking pretty good if I do say so myself!:)
I know these are small accomplishments but I'm proud of myself and I'm glad that my mom took the time ( as stubborn as I was) to continue to teach me because she new how I would need to know these things later on. I don't doubt that there are going to be plenty more stuff to learn or I guess I should say re-learn.

God is good!!!

Write? Please? We don't care if you how you sound! :) I think you have a lot to say, even if it is just about life stuff. And you can post about cool stuff you read other places. Just, please write! :)
On stubbornness, yeah, I think all of us can think of one thing like that! :)
