Anyone up for some friendly competition???

So I have been struggling with the name of our blog for quite some time now, I know it's just a blog and not a big deal, but something that is on my mind. I noticed a while ago on one of my friends blogs that she had a friend with the same blog name as ours of "Our Journey". It really bothered me, I want our blog name to be original to our family. I have since changed it to "The ABC's of Life (ABC is Andy's initials), but I am just not feeling it and I cannot think of anything that I like, for some reason lately my creative juices are just not flowing.

Here's the deal, we are looking for suggestions for a new blog name. Please comment and tell us your suggestion. On December 22nd we will go through the suggestions and choose a winner! The winner will receive a surprise Christmas gift from our family to yours! Sound like fun??? I thought so. Good luck, happy brainstorming, and Merry Christmas!!

    Well, I am sure you didnt realize I occasionally read your blog, as I never leave a comment...but now that there is a gift involved, I thought I would talk.
    So here are my idea(s):

    Coil Living

    The meaning to our journey

    Enjoying Life

    Coil Crusade

    Have a Merry Christmas

    OK this one hit me about 3 a.m.

    Good times at the ABC Corral...

    NO, whatever, I know Andrea has this all sewn up, because she gets to use Devin to make the graphics. I still say that's not fair. ;) There, see I can use graphic art too. Ha! Take that Devin and Andrea.

    I GOT IT!

    The Andy Bush Coil ‘ Shay’s Life

    OK, so I tried it in word and did all these cool fonts with the first letters really big, but when I paste it into the comment, it doesn't work. Now I'm worried, because that is about as graphic as I can get.
