The Beginning.

     Well, I guess I have made it onto the blogosphere. Naturally, there are unasked questions that I am inclined to answer. The questions, I presume, are as follows: Who am I?, Why am I here?, Why should you read my blog?
     I'll start with last, because let's face it - there aren't really rules here - so why not?

     Why should you read my blog? Honestly, I don't know. Hopefully you'll find it encouraging, entertaining, informative... something of the like. I don't have any one topic I am intending to stick with - with life as it is, and the internet community at my fingertips (bad pun, but you smiled, huh?) there is no reason to put topical  restrictions on the written word, apart from abstaining from the obscene, gross, negative, etc. Maybe you'll identify with me, maybe you'll find a connection, maybe you'll be challenged. I personally have no stellar reason why you should read this... afterall, we're most likely strangers - but isn't that what's so compelling about blogs anyways? You have the ability to stumble into the life of someone you may never meet and be affected in some way. This may just change your life.

     Why am I here? It was all my husband's idea, so here's why from his perspective:


"To talk to people."

     Ok, so - that was a significantly shorter answer than expected, but he's playing a video game - which has the same effect as watching football in our house. Here's why I think I'm here, a part from "to talk to people" (which is a pretty magnificent reason given that I spend my day with 2 young munchkins, but more on that later). I enjoy writing immensely, yet life happened. I'm not sure what specifically, but I stopped writing. Sad day. I spend the majority of my days with 2 little munchkins (not mine) whom I love dearly, but they're not great on the higher conversation level at the moment so I end up suffering from word vomit when I'm around "grown-ups". I just may need a creative outlet. I'm already quite enjoying this, but don't worry - I promise my posts won't all be this lengthy, though I don't promise they'll all be shorter.
     Who am I? I am a God-fearing, recently married, young woman living in quite possibly the best weather state (quick! guess!). I am a wife. I am a nanny. I am a woman. I am creative when I allow myself to be. I'm a writer and a singer. I'm insecure, yet confident. I'm quiet, yet loud. I'm bored easily and easily distracted. And even more, I'm learning. I'm learning to be successful in the eyes of my Maker and not my own; to embrace my feminity in a world that discourages it; to love in a way that is foreign to our culture, society and world; and, I think, more than that - I don't know what I'm learning - but I'm learning something.

     So there it is. Read a long, give me a chance, subscribe if you're so willing to do so. I can't tell you what this blog will be about specifically, but at the same time, you'll never know if you don't stay for awhile.
