So I've been dabbling with the idea of having a blog for months. The problem I tend to run into with technological things like this is that I spend more time using them as a procrastination tool than anything else. I opposed getting a facebook forever, finally gave in, and now it is my all time favorite time-waster. So my plan all along has been to wait to jump into this blog business until I have a baby someday. Cause everyone likes to look at a blog with a baby in it, right? I'm still trying to think of anything I could post on here that anyone would care to look at besides my mom. Anyways, my lovely friend Cynthia Meeks made this super fun little banner and cute-sied up a blog for me just in case I wanted to start...and as it is, I am officially a blogger. Pre-baby. So much for my plan! Thanks Cynthia! But seriously, didn't she do an amazing job? (She also does invitations of all kinds if you have an event coming up!)
Since I am a newbie at all this, I'm not really sure where to start...but telling a little bit about my life seems like an appropriately cliche' blog place to start so here goes:

grew up in Amarillo with a wonderful family

went to Texas Tech and had so much fun
with some incredible friends (2004-2008)
became a 4th grade teacher
(August 2008)

became a wife to the most wonderful
person I know (September 2008)
bought our first house (March 2009)
had an amazing summer at
Hidden Falls Ranch (June-Aug.
2009)
and now I can't believe I am about to start my 2nd year of teaching in 2 days and my 2nd year of being a wife in 15 days...
Looking back makes me so thankful for my blessings and so excited for what the Lord has ahead!
