Summertalk

I would share a random toon from Homestar Runner because summer is upon us, and I had forgotten how much I love this one until today: http://www.homestarrunner.com/baloneyman.html

I would post pictures from my graduation garden party because it was so spectacular.

First, me and Tarek dancing. This happened at the end, but I sure like this sweet four-year-old. Also this is a pretty good view of what my dress looks like. I love it!

The food table! My dad worked really hard on this, and it was sooooo tasty. I helped some, too.

Dad and Isaac

Boccee Ball

Some of the decorations

Me and Jill under the balloon Basilisk I made into an arch

My sweet wonderful parents who threw this spectacular party for me
I love this picture of them

Me, Stephanie, and Tara

I feel like this picture is the epitome of me -- mostly because it's me in a lacy dress carrying a bowl of cheese sauce 

 These love birds are getting married next month! 

Hat touch! 

I just loved this. It was exactly what I wanted. 

Explanation

Had I a blog, I would write the first post to explain the premise of my blog.

Mostly I've been thinking about it lately because it is a better outlet for sharing experiences and thoughts more in-depth. It could also be the fact that I have several newlywed/new-mom friends, and they have blogs which I sometimes follow. Lately I've found myself thinking, "If I had a blog, I would post [fill in the blank]."

And I've been thinking about deactivating my Facebook for a little while, at least until I get some more goals accomplished. It is pathetically distracting to me. And maybe a blog is just another way to waste time. But maybe not.

I wanted the URL of this blog to be something like hadiablog.blogspot.com or had.i.a.blog.blogspot.com or something like that. But that didn't work out, so I went with a line from a Strong Bad email I watched recently. Because it's perfect in its own way.

So there you have it. Blog post #1.

And here's a picture of a cat.

Just kidding.
