Pinterest!!!!

Ok so if you know me, you more than likely know how ANTI-bandwagon I am...or I was anyway. Since getting married, I've realized that I have jumped on a lot of other bandwagons that I didn't even realize.

1. Getting married - ha, ok so maybe not really a bandwagon, but still, it is something that most girls want at our age.
2. Facebook - EVEN THOUGH I can say that I joined when it was super new, I mean I was on it when you had to have a college email address to be on it.
3. Grey's Anatomy - Again, I was watching this show from the beginning of Season 2, and I didn't even know it existed Season 1, so its kind of NOT a bandwagon for me...but we'll just say for the sake of this post, it is.

*Note - I do consider the fact that if you are on a bandwagon from its origin, then its not really you bandwagoning, because you helped create the actual bandwagon. Example, me with Facebook & Grey's OR somebody who has been reading Harry Potter since the first book came out and read it before the 2nd one came out and it took over bookshelves...see my point?*

With that being said, I can say that being an Aggie, Christian, Spurs fan, & Cowboy fan is not any bandwagon to me. I've been an Aggie from the moment I knew Aggies existed (freshman year of high school) and have stuck by them through the good, the bad and the very ugly (like some of our football games this year). I've been a Christian for as long as I knew there was a God that loved me and wanted the best for me (approx age 5 :) ) I've been a Spurs' fan since I knew there was another team in the NBA besides the Chicago Bulls haha. And I have been with them with their Championships and their very disappointing early exits in the playoffs. AND I have been a Cowboy's fan since I can remember, or should I say since I could hear my Grandmother yelling for/at them. :)

But now onto the things that I have started to bandwagon on -
1. A blog, but lets be real, we are all so glad that I did! What better way to keep everyone informed on our lives alllllllll the way over here in Alabama!
2. Twitter - yes that's right, I started a Twitter. I don't tweet a lot, mainly because one of my friends (you know who you are) is an excellent tweeter, and I feel like I have a lot to live up to, and I feel like if you are going to tweet something, it better be A. good, B. witty C. make somebody at least smile!
3. and finally - Pinterest. I had heard about Pinterest this summer, but it just sounded like another bandwagon that would fade away...boy was I wrong. So a couple weeks ago, I decided to click on a link that somebody had pinned on Facebook. It was just a funny little saying about Adult Truths. Here is it below:

Hilarious, right???

Now after reading that, you would be intrigued as well, right? You want to know what other funny things you can find on this Pinterest. Well boy oh boy. Once I got started, I couldn't stop. Well I tried just saving all of the websites that I found for all the delicious recipes, but then Taylor told me to just cave and sign up for it. So I did, with some help from my friend Ryan. She invited me and there is was. A world full of great recipes, decorations, DIY crafts...just pure awesomeness. And from that moment I have been pinning like crazy. It isn't hard, I think just about anybody could do it. So that is why I am telling you, YOU SHOULD DO IT! If you want to sign up, let me know. I will send you an invite. You don't have to be sent an invite to sign up, but if you just try to sign up yourself, they put you on a waiting list...no seriously, they do. So just let me know. Whether you're young, old, male, female, you'll find something that you love. I have quite a few pins...270 as of right now. If you want to just check out Pinterest without signing up, you can!

*I was going to say this was really just a post from me, but Taylor will tell you that he has benefited from Pinterest as well! LOTS of great dinners of ours have come from it, and many more will as well!*
Including these "nuggets of joy" that Taylor likes to call them. They are pepperoni bites!
