I have a special treat for all of you today!
One of best things about blogging is who it brings into your "blog" life, and I've had the pleasure of getting to know Heather from Finding Beauty in the Ordinary. She has a beautiful heart and a burning passion for Jesus Christ, I'm always inspired by her view on life. It's also a very exciting time for Heather and her husband, they are expecting their FIRST child! They made an adorable video to share the news, you have to check it out.
I just know you're going to love her. Enjoy!
In one sentence, tell us about yourself?
Hi, I'm name is Heather! I blog over at Finding Beauty in the Ordinary-- a lifestyle blog about life with my best friend & husband of 5 years, Joshua, and our German Shepherd puppy, Hartley. We found out awhile ago that we are expecting a little baby in August and we could not be happier! We recently relocated to Tucson, AZ, from San Diego, CA, and are enjoying exploring our new city. We love Jesus and are passionate about loving people well.
How did you get started blogging?
I started actively blogging in August of last year. Before that, I blogged here and there but nothing consistent. I fell upon one blog specifically, The Arizona Russums (and the author, Jen, now happens to be one of my "real life" friends!) and from there I just kept stumbling upon one blog after another and realized it was just a big community of bloggers. I fell in love with it.
What is your favorite thing about the blogging community?
I love the community I've built with other bloggers. Some of them know specific, personal details about my life and have offered unconditional, unwavering support. You can see how much the community I've built with other bloggers has affected me personally by reading the story of how I found out I was pregnant! :)

How do you manage to remain positive, even during the rough times?I would definitely say that maintaining a positive outlook even during some of the really rough times is 100% a result of God's grace in my life. And having to trust that everything happens for a reason and that the end result will be worth it. Knowing that trials make me stronger. I wouldn't take back any of the hard times-- I'm a totally different person now. That's what pain does to us; it makes us a person of more depth.
What are you looking forward to in 2012?I am so excited 2012! This year will bring even more changes for us as we buy a house, prepare for the arrival of our baby in August, and continue to dive into building community in our new city!
