Gotta Start Somewhere

Facebook is all well and good but I have to say that I find it doesn't quite do everything I would like it to. So here I am trying blogging for myself. I've started (and neglected a bit) a blog for my best friend, Brian Hart, who is currently serving a 2-year mission for the LDS church but I've decided that I want to talk about myself a little more. I mean what girl doesn't? Also, I really enjoy writing but since I'm not currently attending any classes I don't have an outlet for any compositions.
     Hopefully my blogging efforts will save my family's ears from incessant rambling since I seem to be a tad more concise when it comes to the written language as opposed to the spoken language. I'm excited to share my thoughts, challenges, discoveries and excitements with you!
     I just wanted to start off by explaining why I chose my blog title. I'm not really cute or clever when it comes to naming things. In general I'd rather just call things what they are but "Alita's Blog" felt unoriginal and while I lack talent in the art of whimsical titling, I do not lack desire. In fact, a title is probably the biggest reason why I didn't create a blog 6 months ago. I mean, it's so hard to keep up with the cute young bloggers nowadays! And besides, my title needed to fit my criteria which was
1. Something I feel strongly about
2. Something slightly clever
3. (not actually a requirement but a desire) Something alluding to one of my favorite qoutes
So here I am trying to find something to appease all of my own demands, searching through some of my old favorite quotes for inspiration and finding nothing. Finally I remembered the sign that hangs in our entryway

"Live Well * Laugh Often * Love Much"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought, "Well I like to laugh and I like to love and I like to live well, although that sounds a bit silly... I can just change it to learn."
So there you have it. My title. My life in three words (four if you count the "and"). Loving, Laughing and Learning. So simple and yet so fulfilling. :)
I look forward to sharing my adventures as I learn, laugh and love, and I hope you do too!
Ta ta for now!
