Wow, I'm starting a blog.

Ok, so here I am, a blogger... which is really crazy to me and probably will be to a lot of people that know me. I've never really been that blogger type... until now, I suppose.

A little back story: My dear friend Aubrey is a blogger. And she loves it (from what I know). Aubrey and I were best buddies in 5th and 6th grade, and then I moved far far away. Somehow, we managed to stay best buddies all the way through high school through letters, e-mails, Internet chat, and visits back and forth. And then we lost touch. This girl has got the biggest heart of anyone I know. She searched me out and didn't find me on myspace or facebook because I don't do that social networking thing (you can ask me about that if you really want, but as I say it's really not that serious. I just haven't gotten into it. Maybe I will... blog first. One step at a time) So anyway, she sent me a last ditch effort good old fashioned letter and we've reconnected through that. We did the whole "what's been going on for the last six years thing" and attempted to get each other caught up, which I think we did a pretty good job of. In her first e-mail she gave me a link to her blog. I've been able to check that blog from time to time, keep updated on her life events, check out pictures... and it's been totally one sided! Here I am with nothing... and no time to keep in touch with people! So the result is even when I'm in the loop with other people, they're totally out of the loop with me. Yes, my dear friend Aubrey, you have inspired me to start a blog. And you may end up being the only person that reads it, if you even do, but whatever. The fun thing about a blog is I can just pretend like people care even if they don't. I'll never know. Haha... I guess that is unless people decide to leave really mean comments. Please don't do that. Go easy on me :)

So here's the other reason for this blog: I tend to get really caught up in my own thoughts. And I have a wonderful husband that is generally really good at letting me rant and get stuff out, but the poor boy, I talk his ear off all the time! And it's not like anything I think or have to say is all that important, it's just that when I'm thinking about stuff and don't get it out of my head it drives me nuts. Seriously, this problem causes insomnia. And if it's something that upsets me and I don't get it out in some way, it will find it's way out through my eyeballs (that's right, I'm a crier). So in the past I've kept a journal, but I haven't been on top of that lately. And now I figure, what the heck, why not put it on the Internet. lol.

I tell you all this to set the tone here. This blog is about nothing. And I'm a rambler so all my posts are going to sound... well, about like this one. Ramblish.

A few things about my life you might hear about...


My dear husband. Cutie. Love you babe! ~Muah!~

School... fun, interesting, life enriching and educational. All of that.... and stressful! I feel like I'm going to be a college student FOREVER!


Liberty Wildlife... I volunteer there once a week. It's a wildlife sanctuary in Scottsdale, AZ. I promise I'll post more about that some other day, but I'm not going to go into what they do today. I'm a zoology major so I volunteer at this center to build my resume and give me some experience in wildlife research. Plus I love the animals there... mostly the owls, which I know freak a lot of people out. I love them though.

(Great horned owl babies. They all have a foster mommy. It's a sweet story. I'll tell it later this week sometime. I love them)

And then I'm sure you'll hear about work and a lot of other random whatnots. I'm currently a restaurant server, but it sucks. Inconsistent hours, no money. Plus hubby is a server too and we end up on opposite schedules a lot, which sucks... blah.

So that's it. This is my new blog... I'm actually a little excited about it, but I feel like I should be embarrassed of that excitement. Whatever, I'm just going to own it. That's right. This is me.

A blogger... :)
