Post #1 - Hello!

Well, hello blog world!  I have been contemplating whether I should join or not for months and alas, here I am!  I am not sure if this will last or if it will be a phase or if I will be writing on this years from now.  Who knows?

Why did I join the blogging world?  Well, I will soon delete my facebook, July 22 to be exact.  The reason I am keeping it now is because of the convenience it gives me to communicate with my Haiti team.  (My Haiti trip that I will take in July will be a big topic of conversation in my posts, along with many other life changing events.)  Anyway, I will soon delete my facebook.  The one thing that keeps me from going through with it is the lack of communication I will have with relatives and friends that are not in my town.  My Aunt B once told me she loved me having a facebook because she could keep up with me despite the 90 minute distance.

The other reason, I figured out that typing out my day is very theraputic.  I realized this when I was typing an email to my soulmate and cousin, Tracy.  I got lost in the email and looked up and had written a novel.  But, it felt so good.  So, even if not a soul reads this blog, I will feel better just by writing.  So, no pressure to keep up or to check in daily.  The reason for my blogging is 70% selfish.

To begin my blog and end this post I think I should give a run down of my life at the moment:
-Just finished my 2nd year of college.
-Officially moved in to my new home with two of my best friends, a married couple from my church.  Matthew will soon follow.
-Getting married to my highschool sweetheart June 16 of this year, that's in 22 days.
-Leading a mission trip to Haiti in July.
-Work at Kohls.
-Babysit two wonderful children whom I love dearly.
-I love lists.

All of this to say, I feel that I have something to say with my life, "Something to write home about."
