A look back at how it started....

My blogiversary is right around the corner, on the 31st it will be one year.

If you haven't been with me since the start, I'm glad you hopped on this crazy ride. If you are wondering about the name, here is an idea of how it all went down.

When I started I had no idea what to call my blog. It was fairly generic to start with. That was until one day when I was doing laundry. Piled on top of my bed were pairs and pairs and pairs of Wranglers. It was nearly overwhelming, those little brown Wrangler tags staring back at me. I looked at those jeans, faded and full of holes. Then I looked at my three boys and my husband, each in a pair of Wranglers that were faded or had holes in them. I realized right then and there that it would be Forever in Blue Jeans at my house.

I set out the jeans on the bed, snapped a few pictures, made a new header and that was that. Forever in Blue Jeans had begun.

We are a family that likes to play when the opportunity arises. I realized that even if I had thought about having a girl, God had a plan for me and I was going with His plan. I have embraced it, even if it means a premature gray hair along the way!

I get out with the boys whenever I can. Please notice the only pink in the picture above. Yep, that's me. (There is another sweet little girl third from the right. She only has brothers and is out with the boys too.)

We had the oldest riding motorcycles at age 4.

And our middle boy was riding by age 3.

Our youngest just turned 1. He should be riding next month. Kid, I kid! Probably 3 more months.

While in college I met this man. Ornery, oh so ornery. But I fell. And a good thing I did too. He is my best friend, I couldn't ask for better.

I had always enjoyed photography but during the spring I got a DSLR. It has been a learning experience and a love.

Lineman works hard to provide for our family. It's a story I haven't delved into yet but after about 9 years as a lineman he was able to get on with the government as an inspector. The boys love to see him at work on a line job or at the substations.

The middle boy has always said he wants to be a lineman when he grows up.

I try to be some sort of Super Mom, but that rarely works. I just try to keep it together the best that I can.
I just love each of these boys that are in my life. Without them, I wouldn't be "Forever in Blue Jeans".

**** Stay tuned::: I'll be having a small contest for my blogiversary****
