30 Blogs: Meaning Behind Your Blog Name

"The Adventures of Abby and Ryan"

Very compelling blog title. Such depth.

I choose this name due to lack of ideas. I've toiled with things such as the following:

"Running with Scissors" (this would be because I'm an avid runner, and I'm a nurse...so always have a pair of scissors in my pocket)....but that's kind of cheesy.

I've also thought of doing "Recipes, Running, & Rants". -- since that nearly sums up what I talk about on here!

This whole blog started back in the summer of 2008, when I was planning my wedding. My Step-Mother-in-Law started this up for me (since I didn't even know what a blog was at this point) -- and dubbed me author.

Our original idea of this blog was to talk wedding plans. But I'm going to be honest with you guys, I wasn't that "in" to the whole wedding planning thing. I just couldn't find inspiration to blog about flowers and center-pieces. I am not a creative person, and half of the wedding stuff -- I didn't have a CLUE what was "appropriate" or "in style"

Once I realized that I wasn't going to be writing about flowers, shoes, and centerpieces, I decided to blog about life, our adventures, our travels, recipes, and rants.

And that's how I'm here today! :)

I actually really like the name "Running with Scissors" I think it's super cute!!

But your blog name is good and seems to sum up your blog/life well :-)

Have you noticed we have the same blog title? Well, except for the names...

You don't think it's creative? Just kidding.

Well, I don't think most people probably know the meaning behind my blog, which is the whole 'spinning yarns', you know, like telling stories.... SO I should probably do this blogging exercise to explain the meaning behind my blog. ;)

Omigosh, Abby, I just realized that you changed your blogs' name to "Adventures with Abby and Ryan"!! ha ha When did you do that? If not for your blog entry, I probably wouldn't have ever noticed the change, either!

I love you blog and think it's interesting and entertaining.

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
