31 days

31 days – fall 2013 – dinner for two

One of my favorite things to do with my big family back in Macon is share a meal with them. Sometimes Sunday lunch, others a birthday celebration, but whatever the occasion, I love, love, love sitting around the table and laughing with them.

Thanks to some good advice in our pre-marriage counseling, G and I have continued that idea with weeknight dinners in our home.  Dinner is the best time for us to catch each other up on our days and fill our stomachs all at the same time {and you can’t really go wrong with talking and eating, now can you?}.

So whether you’re a newlywed, parents of five, or living with your three best friends, share a meal around the table with the one{s} you love.

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!

Newlyweds-G&R | Atwell Adventuresmove 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!
