How I Chose My Blogging Platform: Because I like to have fun!

Hey everybody! What's poppin!

So when I first looked at the assignment and saw we had to create a blog, I was like "Oh geez, I barely post on Facebook (other than pictures of my beautiful black lab:)) so how am I going to post on a blog. Not gonna lie, I was scared. However, it's really not that scary! So to get at this, I decided on blogging on blogger.com literally because I set up an account on wix.com and I didn't like it. I didn't understand, the format was weird to me, and I just didn't like how it looked. It didn't float my boat, so I sailed away! And this is where my ship landed. Blogger.com. I first clicked on bloggers link because I was like "okay it is called blogger.com so I bet it's super user friendly, and maybe that even I could figure out how it works...and lo and behold I did! So yeah, a little trial and error and I was able to find the perfect home for my blogging abilities (or lack there of!).

 Now, that you know how I found my perfect spot for my blog to live, let me tell you a little bit about my blogging abilities. So, like I said, I do not blog (well until now!). I am on Facebook and Instagram (and I have no interest in figuring out/understanding Twitter), but I hardly post anything. And I hardly post anything because my thought is "do people really care "what's on my mind" (as Facebook puts it)?" However, I do love reading blog posts! And that's real blog posts, not how someone accidentally dropped their cat in the toilet on Facebook, but rather how someone lost 30 pounds in four months, or a really awesome recipe someone came up with. Oh and DIY, I'm all over that!!

 My main interests in reading new blogs and now getting to create my own (yay!!) is to learn and use new ideas from other bloggers and hopefully vice versa. I hope that everyone who visits (let's face it, this awesome) blog will learn, obtain, use, and even share all of the information on my blog and in my life and apply it to their own. I'm also super excited to have this blog not only be educational, but also something a little different and fun! So to start out my very first ever blog posts, I thought I would share with you some pictures that make me...well me!


Let Me Show You...Me!

So, this is Justin. He is my boyfriend! We've always known each other through school and activities! He is a sophomore at PSU and he is an Ag. Science major with a concentration in dairy science. So, what that really means is that he loves cows! (Oh, and so do I!) He plans to work in the genetics field and hopefully run and own his very own dairy operation someday! (Isn't his puppy the cutest thing you've ever seen?!)

This is my family, well minus a brother! (He's married and old (don't tell him I said that) so we don't have too many recent pictures) However, there are six of us. 3 boys and 1 girl. And yep, they're all older than me. Youngest and only girl..don't you feel bad for me? And I don't even get spoiled! But anyway, as you can see my family is very dysfunctional (see top picture...like what is Tyson looking at?!) Tyson is the one with his chin in the clouds! However, we're a ton of fun (or so we think) and we love the outdoors!!

These are the wonderful animals in my life! I love animals and so therefore  I do anything for them! I show cattle and goats at fairs and farm shows. We have 10 goats at our house, and I work on dairy farms all over the local county. And, of course, our beautiful black lab, Ninja! 

And last but certainly not least, my best friend, Meredith! Meredith and I have been best friends/sisters since kindergarten. We grew up playing every sport in the book together, hanging out, washing cows and so so so much more! Meredith is a BioChem major at PSU and she is also a freshman! (Isn't the bottom right picture adorable?!)
