Esther Knits and Cooks

As you’ve probably noticed, things look a little different around here. Thanks to Jered, my blog now has a completely different look. Along with that new look comes a new direction for the blog. Whereas it used to be my “fitblog” chronicling my weight loss efforts, I have decided I would like something more multi-dimensional- I am, afterall, much more than just a person trying to lose weight! (although this is still a goal of mine)
I’ve decided to broaden the scope of my blog to include my life in general- which includes plenty of knitting and cooking (actually quite a bit more cooking than anything else). I hope to become a more regular blogger, and by regular I mean more than once a week. I have a busy semester ahead of me that I’ve just started, but I’ve made myself a promise to do my best to finish all school and work related tasks before the weekend so that I can continue to have a life as I make my way through the second year in my program.
As some of you may know, Jered and I are planning to start a family in the next year or so, so there may be little updates about that on here every now and again too!

To start us off I thought I’d write a bit about the canoe excursion we took with a couple of friends of ours last weekend. It was my first time canoeing, and yet there is no photographic proof that I was actually in a canoe, other than the fact that I am taking pictures of everyone else. We rented canoes at Waller Mill park in Williamsburg and went out for a little over an hour. I had so much fun I almost decided to rename my blog Esther Canoe’s.

The lake- so peaceful!
