I Stopped to Smell the Roses (a.k.a. my very first VLOG!)

Welp, I finally worked up the courage to film my very first vlog! Mandy, from House of Rose, has been hosting this vlog link up for about a month now and I keep promising her that I will join the fun. So Mandy, my entrance into the vlog world is dedicated to you. Thank you for encouraging me get some guts and branch out of my comfort zone! The purpose of this vlogging link up is to share something we are thankful for each wek. Since this is the first time I'm participating, I decided to thank all of YOU! I blog for myself, and I blog to remember but I'm so thankful to have made new friends along the way.

A few things I would like to note...

1. After watching this I realized how excited I seem! I would apologize but I really am this energetic in real life. Most days, I don't stop. Ask Mark. He'll tell you!

2. Do I sound like I'm yelling? I really think it sounds like I'm yelling. But I wasn't! I promise.

3. Whoahhhh I seriously talk with my hands. This is nothing new but it's funny to watch in person. I've tried sitting on them, but it's unnatural. I'm Italian. This is me

4. I kind of, sort of, LOVED filming this! I had no idea how I would feel after filming myself but it was really, really liberating. And not as weird as I thought it would be! Virtual cooking classes, anyone!? (I did promise Mandy I would post an egg poaching tutorial!)

Thank you to sweet Mandy for hosting the link up. I love watching everyone's videos and I'm excited to add mine to the list!
