Week 20: Five Things I'm Passionate About

So I feel like if you've read my blog for very long, you will know these five things already, but I'll share them anyways. Also, I had a hard time thinking of things, so forgive the randomness of number two! Ha!

1) It will likely come as no big surprise to you that I am passionate about reading. I read all sorts of stuff and cannot pick a favourite book or a favourite author. I LOVE them all. A correlation to this is that I am passionate about libraries because I am cheap, so I love getting to read all the books for free. And I love participating in the 24 Hour Readathon, and am already looking forward to April :)
2) I am passionate about printing out pictures. I love looking through photo albums, and I love that the kids love looking through photo albums, so this is something I will continue to do. I think it's important that the kids have tangible ways to help them remember stages of their lives. At some point I'd love to print my blog as a book because it would be the ultimate photo album!
3) I am passionate about watching sports of all kinds. From the Blue Jays to our local junior hockey team to watching my youth from church play basketball, I just love cheering people on.

4) I am passionate about traveling. I love to travel. I just like discovering new places. From going to New Zealand for two weeks with Dave to a Southern Road trip with our whole family to long weekends in New York City -- it just all makes me happy!

We're in the planning stages of another big road trip next summer which, if it all goes as planned, will be combining quite a few things I'm passionate about :) I'll fill you in when I can but it probably won't be until the spring sometime.

5) I am passionate about flowers. (And I'm sure you're all falling down in shock! Ha!) One of the things I absolutely loved about this summer is my flower share through our CSA. I loved getting awesome bouquets every week, with unique and beautiful flowers. I felt so showered with love for my birthday when almost everyone surprised me and brought me flowers. I love the flowers in our yard. Flowers just make me happy.
So there are five things I am passionate about. Of course I could list many more like my faith, my kids, my husband, Coke, my friends, blogging, hanging laundry on the line (HA!) -- but I was only supposed to pick five. It's probably a good thing too!

    I love this!! I love that you are passionate about printing pictures. I wish I were!! I always wish I had more photo albums. I have printed a few photo books since Millie was born, though, so that gives me like half credit. :)

    I really expected there to be 'hanging laundry' on here somewhere. :)

    Good to see a fellow library-lover. So few of us left...

    I am also passionate about printing out pictures, but I feel like I need to devote an entire room to all the photo albums!! Or else I need to decide my kids aren't cute anymore so I will stop taking pictures of them, ha!

    Way to sneak Coke INTO a to represent!! :)

    I have always wanted to see a printed out blog. A blogger I used to read {until she quit} printed her book every year but she never showed the inside, so I didn't know what it looked like. Maybe I should consult pinterest. Surely someone has blogged about printed blogs. :)

      Every time I've looked into, it's very expensive. And the thought of trying to narrow my blog down to specific posts is daunting. You have a GREAT idea to search Pinterest though. I'll bet there are a ton of great ideas out there.

    You're going to have to give me some tips on the photos. That is one area of life where I do NOT have it together!

    Yep, all things I think I already knew! But great things none the less. I wish I could be better at printing out pictures. I just take way too many and it is so hard to stay caught up. I gave up the year after Evan was born, and then I found blogging and still hope that I can print all of the blog in yearly or semi-yearly installments to capture our memories in book form. I have printed years 2003 through 2009 in 3 volumes. Those years were just the posts from 2009 (the first year I blogged catching up on our past memories). They were big catch up posts with lots of pictures though. I know the years since then will probably need at least two volumes a year with all the pictures I post. Ugh. Yes, it will be expensive, but I just need to commit to doing a book every few months or something.

    I keep wanting to print my blog into a book as well! I actually started doing it, and got like one month formatted and then quit. Hopefully I can make it happen eventually!

Thank you for being interested in my life as I blog it and for leaving a comment. Comments make me happier than reading a good book and drinking a cold Coke. Almost :)
