My first post!!

So here I am starting my first blog, almost can’t believe that I am doing it. I have read so many people’s blogs, some are inspiring, heartbreaking, creative and some are just too darn funny. I don’t really have a “journey” to take anyone on with this blog, really, to me it’s just going to be an online diary with some other thoughts thrown in, and maybe someone will read it and offer up some great advice or just regular old online sharing. That is was blogging is about after all. ;o) Some background information on me, well, a lot has changed over the past couple of years. I was engaged and in an abusive relationship. I left that relationship and met a great guy I love very much. In fact, I love him so much that I moved to rural Minnesota to be with him. One thing I have discovered about myself is that I am not a small town girl. Another reason I wanted to do this blog is for a good place to vent. I think my friends and family are a little tired of hearing how much I don’t like “small town living”, and frankly, I’m tired of hearing myself bitch about it. What can I say, I miss my friends and family, nothing to do in a small town, and my boss is a total jerk. So I apologize now if I get all “Debbie Downer” on here.

On a brighter note, I have enrolled in an online program with a school in Chicago to work towards getting my Bachelor’s Degree… finally!! Better late then never I guess!! I am also hoping to move back to Chicago before this year is out with the boyfriend. I have already started the process of job hunting. I think I will leave it at that for my first post. :o) I would just like to say that I am excited to meet people here and read other’s thoughts and ideas.
