A FLASH BACK TO WHEN I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A BLOG WAS: THE EARLY YEARS OF OPEN SPACES BLOG

I sat down to write a blog post that I have been wanting to finish up and schedule for later in the week. I had a check list in my mind of all the things I needed to do... "edit photos, schedule social media, create outline... etc" and then suddenly I was hit with a flashback from 2012 when I had no clue what a blog was. My sister mentioned how she thought I would like blogging, how it might be a good way to keep family updated on life while I was a newlywed who moved across the country to go to school (let it be noted that I was, and still can be, terrible at calling and keeping people updated). 

So I took a leap, started a blog called "Open Spaces," I picked the first name that popped into my mind and it is something that I still love! You can see my first blog post that I wrote and it makes me laugh because it didn't even have an image :) 

Here is a walk down blogging memory lane. I hope you enjoy a good laugh at the journey that I have been on. I never knew how much this little space would change my life, let alone all the amazing relationships I would create!
