The Beginning

So I finally started a blog. I've been wantin' to do this for a while now, but have just never gotten around to doing it. There's a few reasons that I've been wanting to do this lately. 


First, I figured it'd be a good way for friends and family to see what's been goin' on in my life lately. From people I've met in China, to friends in highschool and here at college, and family far away I figured this would be the best way for me to stay in contact due to my not being able to stay on the phone or facebook 24/7. Second, a lot of funny stuff has been goin' on lately and it's fun to be able to tell people. Not that I like to talk about myself all the time, but I do enjoy tellin' people what's happened recently. Lastly, I figured it'd be fun. I've been reading a few other great blogs lately (here they are: consideritrubbish.blogspot.com and byhopewesteer.wordpress.com)and I love being able to see what those people are doing and how things are going for them, and I guess that I had a faint (did I spell that right?) hope that people would have the same for me. (Gosh, I didn't mean for it to come across that sappy.)


Anyway, here's the first post and I'll keep ya'll updated on how things are going.
