31 days – fall 2013 – ch-ch-ch-changes

October 2, 2013October 3, 2013 Rachel Atwell1 Comment

Since July 7, life has changed.

For a person like me, change can be fun and exciting, yet difficult because it requires growth.

It’s easy to stay the same, but I’m finding it much more interesting in embracing new things {people, places, ideas} everyday, even if some of them come with growing pains {I’m talking about you, budget… more on that in the days to come}.

The biggest areas I’ve noticed changes in? Faith, money, home life, and traditions.

Some of the changes have been by choice, others by circumstance. Our purpose: to build a strong foundation for whatever lies ahead of us.

Ever heard of a 31 day challenge? It’s where bloggers commit to writing about a particular topic for 31 days straight. No breaks. No weekends off. Just 31 days of post.

And tomorrow, I start my first 31 day challenge with The Nester!

I’m excited and yet somewhat nervous. Writing is usually something I do when it’s convenient or when I have something I want to talk about. And if you notice the frequency of posting Atwell Adventures – it certainly isn’t everyday. So why not challenge myself a little?

Day 1

Trying to decide on a topic to talk about for 31 days was harder than I expected {hopefully, not a preview of things to come}. I wanted to choose something that would stretch me and make me more creative in my writing, but also be natural fit. So I decided to write about the biggest recent change in my life: going from engaged to being a newlywed!

move over Nick and Jessica… the new newlyweds are in town!

These past 85 days have taken me from being a fiancé to a wife, a resident of Georgia to a new home in North Carolina, a full time employee to a now stay at home wife. It’s been a sweet time and I can’t wait to share more about it with you!

Each day after I write I’ll also list the links so at the end of the month it will be a nice little package-of-posts. Think of it as my Halloween gift to you. You’re welcome!

So here we go – 31 DAYS: NEWLYWEDS!
