Blogging Challenge and looking forward to my weekend

First things first....my boyfriend will be here so soon!!! Ahhhh I can't wait for him to be in DC and see where I have spent the majority of the last 4 years of my life. I also have been missing him something terrible so I cant wait to be able to hug him and hold his hand and all that cheesy boyfriend/girlfriend stuff. Our game plan this weekend is to see as much as we can without driving ourselves mad so tonight e will wander the monuments and relax. Saturday we are going to the ZOO!!!! This one was my choice haha. I havent seen it yet and he is being super sweet to take me. We will also be hitting up the Air and Space museum, it's my favorite museum in all of the Smithsonians! Then the rest of the day is loose as we didnt wanna press ourselves for time at all. The poor guy only gets one weekend off a month I don't wanna make him feel like he is working and on a schedule. Sunday I am treating him to the Baltimore Aquarium. He is a huge marine biology lover and has a saltwater tank with corals and adorabel fish himself so I think he is really excited to see this, at least I hope he is cause I am!!! I still need to get myself packed though haha and prepare myself mentally for my drive downtown. =O

 

So in order to start getting myself better in the groove of this whole blogging thing I have decided to participate in a blogging challenge to blog everyday in May.(excuse my run on sentences I spent the morning with Thomas Mann's Schwere Stunde and man can he rattle on...in a good Nobel Prize winning way) It is being started/hosted by Jenni over at Story of My Life which is a great read. She has helped inspire me to blog and what a better way than to follow her challenge?!?! So there is that...

Here are the rules:

1. There really aren't any rules. If you miss a day, you can make it up or skip it. The blog police will not come knocking.

2. I will be including a linkup option at the bottom of my post each day, so you are welcome to leave your links here for others to peruse, as well.

3. You can still post other things every day, too. I plan to do normal outfit posts, life posts, around-Austin posts, and sponsor posts just like usual.

4. I'd seriously love you if you also include the "blog every day in May" button (below) either on your sidebar or at the end of your posts, but again, the blog police will not come knocking. My main goal here is to get us all back to the basics of blogging, not to gain a million new readers (though I wouldn't mind that).

5. Here are the topics. You can be as creative and awesome or as boring and bland as you like with these. Take 'em and run with it. Use creative post titles. Interpret each "prompt" however you like. There's no wrong way to do it. Have fun.

Day 1, Wednesday: The story of your life in 250 words or less (or one paragraph... no one will be counting your words... probably)
Day 2, Thursday: Educate us on something you know alot about or are good at. Take any approach you'd like (serious and educational or funny and sarcastic)
Day 3, Friday: Things that make you uncomfortable
Day 4, Saturday: Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc) and why you love it
