Hello Blog World!!

Welcome to The Dixie Volunteer!

I am so excited to finally write my very first blog! I have been contemplating whether or not to write a blog for about a year now, and have finally taken the plunge! One of my favorite things to do is sit down with my iPad and a cup of coffee/tea and read through my long list of blogs I follow! I am hoping to provide a blog that others look forward to reading, as I do with my favorite blogs.

First things first, let me tell you a little bit about myself:

1. My name is Jordan, I am in my early mid-20s.

2. I have been married to Zach (aka BigZ or just "Z") since October 12, 2013 (best day of my life :)) -more to come on this!)

3. I have the most adorable fur baby (I may be a bit biased). On my blog you will probably find lots of sweet Aubie stories (he's our only child so we are a bit obsessed)!!

4. My other obsession is my niece and nephew, Keegan and Quinn Thomas. That is another topic that you will probably read about a lot on this blog.

(I mean, honestly, does it get much more cuter than these two!!!)

5. I am a southern girl through and through and pray I will never have to live above the Mason-Dixon Line! Big hair, southern accents, football weekends, sweet tea & monograms are some of my absolute favorite things!

6. I grew up in Lebanon, TN (30 mins East of Nashville), GO VOLS!, also known as the hometown of Cracker Barrel, if you have never eaten at a Cracker Barrel you are missing out (SERIOUSLY! Best southern food!). I moved to Birmingham, AL to attend school at Samford University. After graduating from Samford in the Dec. 2012 I moved to Montgomery, AL & hopefully will not be here for too much longer :) 

7. My husband is a CRAZY Auburn fan, therefore I have been somewhat converted (my vols are still number 1 but I probably spend more time cheering on the tigers). Fall in the Eason household is full of lots of Auburn conversations and counting down the days till we can make the 45 min. trip over to Auburn, AL! (Lots to come on this topic, I'm sure!)

8. DIY jobs, home cooked meals, home decorating, and sewing/embroidering are some of my loves and I wish I had more time to dedicate to these projects. You will hopefully get to read about a lot of my finished projects!

9. I have an addiction to TV shows. Love me some Scandal, Survivor (I have to play this one day), big brother, the voice, pretty much all Real Housewife shows (minus ATL, I just can't get into that one) and many more!! I love to sit back and enjoy some junk TV!

10. Last but definitely not least I am a follower of Christ.

Now, on to my reasons for writing a blog:

1. Most of my family still lives Tennessee and BigZ's family lives in North Alabama so my main reason to start blogging is so they can stay up to date on our lives as newlyweds!

2. I work a desk job M-F and my creative side has been itching to show itself for the past 1.5 years, what better way than writing about my life and fun projects!!

3. With Zach and I just getting married and hopefully starting a family soon, I wanted some place to document all of our huge milestones.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog
