The Ultimate Blog Party...

So I just found out about this event!!! I never even knew that these things existed and I have "had" this blog since 2006 actually, it was 2004!... The word had is very strong here since it's only been a few months since I really began getting into blogging...

Anyway, I found out about this event from Beth over at her blog I should be folding laundry . I think this is a great idea for people and families to get to learn about other people in throughout the world and to swap ideas on life!

So to get in on this wonderful party, I'll let you all know a little about me... (took the introduce my self idea from Beth, hope it's ok!!)

I just turned 26 a few weeks ago, and it was really difficult for me... I know I get a lot of looks for people who don't understand it... i here the... "HA, you're still a baby" quote ALL THE time.... it kind of gets annoying... it was just hard... that's all. I'm married to a WONDERFUL man I met at church several years ago. We've been married just a little under 3 years, our third anniversary is June 4th!! He is an engineer and travels A LOT for work, it gets lonely, but you get used to it... We moved away from our friends and family in NJ last April to MD due to Tim's job relocating, but all is going well, and the drive back "home" to NJ isn't all that far. But I do miss my family and friends greatly, especially since my FIRST niece is due to be born any day now!!!

My husband and I have no children, at least not of yet, and the idea of becoming a mother scares the crap out of me!! But we do have a ... "furbaby"... his name is Winston and he is a 3 year old puggle, I love him dearly!

Isn't he the cutest??

I love to dance, I love photography, I love learning, and when I'm in the mood and can get into a book, I love to read. I don't have too many hobbies since most of them cost money... ha ha. But I am trying to get back into things, like starting a garden, I don't know why I decided to do that since most of my indoor plants die away, but we'll see where this takes me. I also enjoy volleyball and working out, when I can get to a gym.

Growing up I went through a great deal of trials. My parents divorced when I was 8 or 9. My mom remarried when I was 13 or so, then my dad remarried when I was 15 or 16, then my mom got another divorce to my stepfather, (which I didn't mind as much). I delt with depression, and eating disorders. I was hospitalized for Anorexia at the age of 18, right before I was to graduate from high school. Then I got accepted into college and went of to college where my life started to turn around. I statred to grow closer to God, (I attened a Bible College), I started to date my now husband, (we met at our home church), I met some of the best friends I will ever come to know and love. Then I got married in June of 2006 and graduated college in December of 2006, sine then our life has been non stop, we've been to the carribean on vacation 3 times, (once was our honeymoom), we've been to Africa on a short term missions trip, with a one day layover in London! I have been out to Califorina with him for travel... we been so many places in the 2 1/2 years we've been married! But, at the same time, it feels like things are going so slow... since we moved to MD I have unsuccessfully been able to find work, and I have only been taking care of our home and job hunting, which are, in fact, two full time jobs anyway...

Well, that's about all, I don't always update my blog, since I feel no one reads it anyway, but sometimes I do, sometimes I just ramble, sometimes I actually have something to update. So, please feel free to stop by, subscrib, or follow me on twitter.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope your enjoying the PARTY!!
