Word Web Vocabulary

I'm running late on my girl behind the blog this month.

Usually I am prepared days in advance, because I love it so.

And I love to watch all of you.

Just want to say thank you to Ashley (5ohWifey) & Alissa (Rags to Stitches)

for the fun opportunity to link up with you both.

Oh, and by the way. I mentioned yesterday that next week is my birthday!
And I want to do a fun question/answer session...
so stop by the post below and comment, email me, tweet, instagram, facebook,
whatever...and ask me what you want to know!

Ok, here we go!!
(Sorry, I went a little long. Again. But I didn't edit a single thing out,so that's a good thing.)

Well, here it is!

My turn to co-host Girl Behind The Blog with 5ohWifey! 

My favorite blog link up on the planet.

I'm so excited. 

You will notice this by the amount I laugh and smile in my video.

Perhaps we should have went with a different topic,

because I am way too happy & excited telling my stories.

You know how I always say, I used to be a really happy smiley girl..

Yes, well here is a good example of that.

I apologize for the crappy quality. Of course the week that I would co-host ,
my camera would break and I would have to use my phone to record..

I haven't made it a secret that my first few months in blog world were disheartening.

I had no clue what was going on. I had no idea so many people blogged.

I had no clue that I could make friends blogging.

Honestly, I just thought all my family and friends would love to hear what amazing words of humor and wisdom I could manage to drum up.

Sadly, that didn't happen. I am ever so thankful for those of my family & friends

that have mentioned, "Hey just so you know, I do read your blog, I just never say anything."

That has made me feel a lot better over time, knowing I had their support.

However, when I first started blogging and didn't know about this great big blog world,

I was in tears, thinking no one cared.

Then one day I discovered Girl Behind the Blog somehow.

It was my first round of  Girl Behind The Blog , acutally THEE first round I believe...

And ever since then, I've been addicted. I think I missed only 2 because I was on a blog 

break at one point and out of town once. I love the entire idea behind it, getting to know people just a
little better as you hear and see people in animated form =) And not just in pictures.

So, anyways, I guess you know what I'm about to say. Last month I had the fabulous

opportunity to meet Ashley, the mastermind behind Girl Behind the Blog and 5ohWifey at

where else, but Influence!!

And I love how encouraging she has been to me in subtle ways.
I was so excited to not only take this picture with her...

but, naturally, I was the lame one who embarrassed myself and told her "I love you"

because she was standing behind me talking to either 5ohHubby or 5ohBaby or someone she loved on the phone and she said "I love you." And what else would I say when 5ohWifey tells 5ohHubby
"I love you."  Uhhhh... duh.... I tell 5ohWifey..."I love you too."

And those are the kind of cool, super amazing, awesome and embarrassing moments that brings us to today! If you know anything about me and my blog, you know that I like to tell funny stories about my life! I have no shame.

And guess what? I get to co-host The Girl Behind the Blog 
ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Woot! I am pretty sure it's because of my spoken love. Yes?

  So, Wednesday, November 28, 2012... one week from today... we invite YOU to get silly and real and share a funny story about yourself. And maybe make a few new friends. All you have to do is follow both of our blogs, post a button anywhere on your blog, and post a short vlog answering the following questions.

I'm a girl who loves to vlog. So a few months ago, when I was approached by Allison from

Sweatpants and High Heels to help her Co-Host a Vlog link up where we give our story 

of how knowing God has changed our lives in under 5 minutes...

As scary as this can be, I was all for it. So those of you here today for

Represent: Take One, welcome to the first vlog in this series...

I am so honored and glad that you have chosen to join us.

Us being Myself, Allison, AND ALSO the lovely Sarah from The Fontenot Four .

And I am so excited to watch your videos throughout the week!

But then I saw that Ashley from 5ohWifey announced her monthly Girl Behind the Blog to go live the same day, with her co-host being one of my favorite bloggers, Erin from Sweetness Itself.

So, how could I miss out on that? It's easy. I couldn't. I never do. So I did two vlogs =)

Disclaimer: 

1) I did the Girl Behind the Vlog video like 12 times and I couldn't NOT cry for 

some reason. Finally I made it through this one with no tears.

2) However, in both videos, I sound weird. I have a lisp. I mean, I really don't,

but something is wrong with my camera, so I sound like I do... Sorry.

3) If you are still looking for tears, you may want to stick around to hear a little more into

my story ON my Represent vlog, because you may or may not see me get all choked up.

4) I never stick to the time limit as much as I try and as much as I edit. Ugh. Sorry.

Just sayin.

If you are here to link up with Represent, grab a button, follow each of the girls Allison and Sarah if you

get a chance, and link yourself up!

Woot Woot.

It's that time again. Time to link up with some super sweet and amazing awesome chicas

for a new round of Girl Behind The Blog.
5ohWifey and Our Crazy Beautiful are our fabulous hosts!

You know I love me some girls behind the blog, yo...

Holla!

Our prompt this time around is to tell a little more about ourselves.

You know, the stuff you might not know just from reading the blog.
stuff like : my musical style, my biggest pet peeve, my guilty pleaure

One thing you might find out, is what a GIANT DWEEB I am...

And I talk way too long, so I ALWAYS have to edit it waaaayyy down.

But I always leave in the "good stuff."

For those of you that have seen my former "Girl Behind The Blogs"

You know what I am talking 'bout...

And setting up a camera to record me accurately is not my main talent..

(it is one of them, just not my main one) wink wink.

Anyways, enough chattering away...

I'll let the girl in the video do it for me.



Don't hate on  my camera ...er... person.

Pssssss.... If you haven't entered my  
It's Not Even Funny Celebration Giveaway
  yet,  go do it...  =)

20 giveaways, 1 Winner!

 ANOTHER link up today...

and ANOTHER girl behind the blog..

I am linking up with Ashley at 5ohWifey  

and Jenna at  The Life Of A Wife  

as we share the secrets behind beauty, or our beauty must haves.

(oh sweet good lord, help me)

I am the LAST person you want to hear this from, but here I go...

*don't laugh at me*
(or smile)

disclaimer: don't mind me~ i think i am hilarious, apparently.

(as always I talked too long. feel free to stop watching at the 3 minute mark. 

although you might miss something very entertaining if you do... just sayin...)

=)

If you have no idea what I am talking about,
that means you didnt watch my video until the end.
FOR Shame. =)
curious yet?

Today I am hooking up with Ashley at 5ohWifey and with Andi from The Hollie Rogue for a video blog link up party! This is Girl Behind The Blog round two and the topic is learning. 

What am I learning? 

What brought me to this point?

 How can I (or anyone) apply it to life?

I want to thank these girls for giving the opportunity to us all to share from our hearts via video.

Such a fun idea...

Mine is slightly longer than it should be. I just cant seem to hold a conversation in under 3 minutes.

My apologies. ;)
