So my cousin Paula convinced me to start a blog. It didn't take very much persuasion on her part because I had already been knocking the idea around in my head. Then I just decided to bite the bullet and start.
Of course I spent, and probably will spend, most of my time on the little details. Which pictures to use, font, color, things like that. Then I was stuck on the name. What do you title a page that will live for years and probably not change? It's like naming a kid. Don't mess up because the kid will have that name for the rest of their life. This blog isn't my baby; I'm not that attached. But I did want to give it a good and honorable name, as a reflection of its owner and contributor. ;)
Now you're thinking, "
Why in the heck did she name it Suddenly September?" I will tell you why. My year revolves around summer. I love winter, but summer is definitely the best. But being a student, my year begins in September. Consider it my fiscal calendar. You hit the old grind of homework and tests. Christmas break brings some relief, but then you have to do it all over again. And then something magical happens...Summer arrives. No more worrying, no more paying ridiculous parking tickets, no messy roommates.
But summer is more than just not having school. It's having weather that makes you want to be outside all the time. The activities you want to do fill up the day. Bike rides, horse rides, lying beneath the stars, reading books, watching the sun set, camping, swimming, rodeos, barbecues, baseball, and tons of other things. Things that you wish would never end. But they do.
And before you know it it's over, and suddenly September.
