About once a year I try to update the design of my blog and give it a fresh new name so.... Here's the refreshed look! I didn't change the layout of the blog at all because I've really enjoyed the simple design over the last year, but I totally revived the color scheme to make the look much more vibrant and fun.
It was definitely time for a new name as well. A year ago, I chose the name "Come What May (and love it)" when, as you know, I was working through a particularly rough time health-wise. The title helped me remember to be thankful and positive no matter what life threw my way. It was completely perfect and fitting at the time, but I've recently recognized that I'm in a totally different place now and I need something different to represent my daily writings. Even though there are still some health issues to be worked out, I feel that I've fully returned to my busy, happy, optimistic self (Yay!)
The other day, I came across an article titled "My Extraordinary Ordinary Life" and I thought that was such an awesome little phrase. Life is exactly what you make it and I plan to make this year EXTRAORDINARY!
Blog Timeline
Here's a little guide to how my life has evolved since this blog first started back in 2008. Looking back now, I've gone through some very distinct and significant chapters. The archives at the bottom follow along accordingly :)
December 2008-July 2010:
Graduating from college, experiencing life as newlyweds, moving to the far-away land of Mississippi, enduring the hectic lifestyle of Air Force pilot training, discovering my passion for web design, and transitioning into life as a real "grown-up".
August 2010- December 2010:
Moving back in with my parents in California while Jake was away at training in Oklahoma, living in a complete state of "limbo", growing my newly launched web design business, and loving life back on the best coast - oops! - I mean west coast ;)
January 2011- March 2012:
Discovering what it's like to have life-altering medical issues, struggling through tragic loss, physical pain, emotional pain, never-ending doctor's appointments and medical tests, all while trying to start our new life at Travis AFB... Learning to trust God even in the darkest times and constantly praying for healing.
April 2012- Present Day:
Experiencing healing from my physical pain, enjoying a career that I absolutely love, making the most wonderful friends here at Travis, and striving to live every single day to the FULLEST. God is so good! John 10:10 - Read it :)
