Are you there, Readers? It's me, Kris... Yeah, again.

Oh Blogger, you rear your tempting ugly head yet again.
That’s right folks, I’ve started yet another blog. Because you know what? I have a serious case of blog envy. I get so worked up when I read about how great everyone else’s lives are…
How cute their perfect snot-free kids look in their head to toe j.crew cuts duds…
How romantic and hot their husbands are with their thick-rimmed glasses and TOMS shoes with their date nights and love letters…
How generally fabulous everyone else’s lives are with no problems, no stress, no bills, no calories and absolutely no reality. So my answer to the ugly green jealousy monster that is Blogspot.com?

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, right?

And as for the title of my blog, let’s be honest. People who blog, blog to brag. Sometimes they don’t even know that they’re bragging. Maybe they think that their kids will want to read up on their adventures one day when they’re old enough to appreciate it. I'm sure some people actually believe that Aunt Joe and Uncle Schmoe in Canada would really want to know what they're wearing today. Others take the passive aggressive approach- bragging about their awesome trips, incredible church groups, their cute clothes and adorable families. These stealthy braggers brag under the guise of simply keeping their friends and families informed of their daily adventures, because in their minds "every day is an adventure, and a blessing!"

Well you know what, folks? The jig is up. I’m going to blog to brag. I want to brag for a few reasons. As a young married in Orange County it’s really easy to forget just how great my life truly is. So, if I sit back and really think about how wonderful things are and actually take the time to write it down, maybe my bragging into the interwebs will bring about some self-realization of just how blessed I really am (uh-oh, I used the B word in my first post. I’m already falling down the Blogger rabbit hole). It’s easy to forget how many fun things I get to do or how remarkable my life is when many days my main focus is trying to keep my eyes open after work so I can catch up RuPaul’s Drag Race and ANTM (priorities).
I fail to see the beauty in my every day, I miss out on so many picture opportunities, I forget that life really is absolutely fabulous. If I have a blog, an outlet to brag, maybe I will snap that picture because that pie I made looks pretty darn good or gosh darn it, my hair DOES looks great today.

I want to brag because I want to remember how amazing my life is now, but also later on down the road. I’ve already missed out on logging so many memories, I don’t want to miss anymore. I don’t want to forget the butterflies that I get when The Huz texts me something sweet, I don’t want to forget how proud I am of my little house, I want to remember every good moment and wonderful thing that I have going in my life.

So in conclusion, I am about to blog… and I am about to brag.

Consider yourselves warned.
