Jump In and Figure It Out As You Go

So, after talking with some girlfriends and reading some amazing blogs, I've decided to go with my instincts and just Jump In! I really don't know what I'm doing, but I hope to learn more in the future about this blogging thing. In the meantime, I want to document what goes on "In the Pond."

I realized, as I was taking stock of our lives at the beginning of this new year, that my motto for life must be, Jump In and Figure It Out As You Go. Oddly, that speaks to the whole affinity for frogs that I've developed in my marriage. I've never been afraid of much, and I have very little pride, so I'm game for just about anything. I think maturity is being able to laugh at yourself, and my Husband has helped me learn to do that. So, I'm jumping into this new year, planning to figure out a few new things as I go.

1. Getting in Shape(the shape I had before five kids)
2. Blogging
3. Hiking Arizona
4. Masters Degree in Social Work
5. Cooking
6. Hebrew, ASL and Norwegian
7. Geocaching
8...several more things I've thought about at odd moments when I had too much to do and no desire to any of it.

If you have any advice about any of the above, please feel free to chime in. So here's to the New Year! Let's JUMP IN!
