Hello World! Are You Out There?

Hi.

So this is my first blog, and I must say, I'm kinda nervous about it. See, I have this need to impress people with every. single. thing. I. do. So I guess that's why I sorta relate to the real housewives you see on Bravo every week. I want / need / yearn for attention, but you won't catch me turning over a table in a restaurant full of people or trying to force feed a "singing career" down all my friends' throats. No, I'm going to indulge my need for attention through this blog. So if you are reading this, thanks for the attention and I really hope you are impressed with my writing...I aim to give you a little chuckle or two or twenty :)

A little about myself: I'm a newlywed. We got married almost a year ago and it was pretty spectacular. T is everything I could possibly want in a husband. He lets me get away with just enough to keep me happy, but keeps me on the ground at the same time. He is incredibly patient and I really don't know how he deals with me. T is pretty much the male version of my sister B, who is my bff and has put up with my BS for years. I guess that's why I was drawn to T - I subconsciously knew he was just like B and would put up with my crap. Plus he has a cute butt.

I work for an arts organization. I don't know if I should say which one to "shield my identity" and what not, but most of my readers know me in real life so I guess it doesn't matter. Guys, this is my dream job. I literally have wanted to work here since I was 12. Can we say lucky?

We just purchased our first home. It was a really long process and I'm a bit jaded now that we are close to moving in. (Side note: I should be packing right now. Obviously I have no interest in doing that) I have a tendency to have, as they say, champagne dreams on a beer budget. I'm working through this issue and trying to love my house. I'll blog a bit more about this later, cause it is an interesting internal struggle which I'm sure many of you can relate to (at least a little).

So to summarize: this blog is a bit of an indulgence for me. I get your love and attention and I get to write and express my ideas, my likes/dislikes, and my struggles/triumphs as I navigate the next chapter of my life in a very small town that I swore I'd never go back to. Hopefully you'll join me on this little adventure.
