This blogging thing...

After moving to Moscow, ID I decided to try out this blogging thing. I am not a great writer, nor do I really enjoy it. But when I'm living in a new community where I have yet to build a close support system outside of my husband, I need a new outlet. I need a way to communicate with family and friends that doesn't involve a dozen hour long phone or skype conversations (because I unfortunately don't have the time for it).

And so began this blog: Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust. One of the memorable quotes from Disney's Peter Pan, I picked this blog title out of our wedding book. Katie is a good friend from Pacific Lutheran University (Go Lutes!) and she wrote this advice for Matt and I:

Faith, Trust, & Pixie Dust

Keep these things in mind on this new journey. Faith: always keep Jesus first. Have faith in each other and the bond you have created through God's grace. Trust: Trust each other. Trust God. Trust the love you have for each other. Pixie Dust: keep each and every day and each and every moment magical. 

Not always easy, but the perfect ingredients to FLY! 

Love you both, Katie Bednark  

I really loved this message. It's simple, yet completely sums up how I view our marriage. Besides, I couldn't resist the Disney ties. :) 

So here we go. This is a new adventure for me and I hope you'll join me on it! 

Best, 

Sam 

P.S. Any blogging tips (especially on the design aspect would be much appreciated!)
