Day 20 – The meaning behind your blog name


When I've seen people do this blog chalenge some people use the name in the url of their blog (mine would then be krumpermonster) and other people use the words that they have in their headliner (mine would then be "life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful") I suppose I'll explain both.


First: Krumpermonster. With a last name of Krumperman growing up, the nickname krumpermonster was given to me by my 9th grade science teacher. She called nobody by their real name, she made nicknames up for everyone (except the kid who insisted on being called Thor). Mine was Krumpermonster. She was really good friends with the teacher I had for biology in 10th grade and chemistry in 11th grade, so that teacher also called me Krumpermonster. The name just kinda stuck so I used it when I made my blog. I liked it. I haven't changed it since we got married, mostly because I didn't want to take the time to make a new blog. I'm just lazy like that.


Second: Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. When Chris and I got engaged we were in the same ward at BYU. Our High Counselor and his wife came to our ward each week, and over the year I had gotten close to his wife. Her name was Gwen and she just reminded me a lot of my mom, and I just liked her a lot. Chris and I sat with them during Sunday School pretty much each week. When we were sending wedding announcements out we sent one to them. They wrote us a sweet card which included the advice that life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful. When she gave us the card she told us to not get discouraged when things weren't perfect, life could be great even if there were some things that weren't going the way we wanted. It was great advice that we really enjoyed and appreciated.


There you have it. Now you know.
