Can Blogs Be Short?

I can't figure out this blog thing yet, but I'm hoping that there's no right or wrong way to go about this. Can blog posts be short? Or do they have to all be super long with pretty words and lots of pictures?

Anyways, here's a short one that I wanted to share. Wednesday's are super long for me. I'm working part time and taking 18 credits, so on Wednesday's I work from 8-11 and then I head straight to Mason for classes until 7:10 at night. I don't have any breaks between my classes so the day feels really long. By the time I get home I am so tired and I have so much homework and I'm super stressed out.

Wednesday's make me tired, but they also make me thankful. My sweet husband was cooking dinner when I got home we had a nice relaxing night. He sure is a great person to come home to after a long day.

Am I A Real Schaefer Woman Now?

Since all of the other Schaefer women have blogs, I figured it was time to jump on the bandwagon. I have been talking about starting a blog for awhile because it's such an awesome way to keep family and friends updated all in one place. But how do you start this thing?

I really want to start blogging not only for family and friends, but also because there is so much change happening in my life right now. Marriage is such a new and exciting journey and I am having so much fun figuring it out with Toby. I want somewhere I can look back at everything we have done and learned together in this sweet time of our lives. I know it will go by too quickly! I am also really bad at taking pictures of things I want to remember, so hopefully this will give me some motivation to do more of that.

 Basically I have no idea what this blog will be other than a place to keep memories and whatever else I can come up with. In a few years, Lord willing, there will be some cute baby pictures, but for now there will probably just be lots of pictures of Toby, Chewy, and our life together. Occasionally I'll post a new recipe I've tried (9 out of 10 times it will be unhealthy but delicious. I have not mastered cooking healthy food but I have got a handle on cooking good food), crafts I've made, or a long rant about how I can't wait until May 16th (graduation). There is no plan here. Just to write! Or I guess type...

So here it is! My very first blog post. Nothing super exciting. I know Toby and I got married almost eight months ago, but am I a real Schaefer woman now?
