And we're off...

I have been contemplating doing a blog for a while now. I have been trying to decide whether or not I would actually be committed to it and keep up with regular posts. Why would anyone want to read MY blog? I have decided this will be a way for me to express the going ons in my life and look back on all my experiences one day (hey, maybe even my kids will see it one day, who knows). So, as you can see, I have decided to take the plunge and do it! Everyone is doing, right?  Don't get too excited! It's not going to be anything really juicy or too exciting (such as the blogs I have been reading lately). I am just keeping it real and hopefully I can look back on these memories I share with each of you.
I just wanted to start off by saying that I am not one to talk about myself (hense another reason why I have been debating this or not). I do not like the spotlight and figure my life is not very entertaining(as I see it in my eyes). I am just a regular 26 year old female just trying to get by in this crazy economy and learn who I am in this world. I just want to share my feelings, experiences, and crazy endeavors that come about each and every day in my life. If someone gets something out of a post, it is worth it!
Here is a little background on me:
I am 26 years old, Single, Love UGA football and Braves baseball(will miss Bobby Cox)Love the lake(live on Lake Lanier) so I spend a majority of my time out there in the summer! I would love to travel more! One day I hope to make it to Paris or Italy!!! I love my family and friends more than anything. To me, if you have loving friends and family, you are extremely weathly!!!! I am a very WEALTHY individual(even if my checkbook appears otherwise)
I have loving parents that are still together after 31 years of marriage! My mom is the rock of the family! She has supported all of us and is each one of our biggest cheerleader. She is very strong willed and loving. My dad is a very hard worker. He has shown us that hard work pays off and you will be rewarded from it. He has been an example of dedication(been with his company 29 years!) and never stops working...he does SO much around the house!  My brother is amazing and an extremely hard worker(I am sure he learned from my father). He is married to an amazing woman (whom I consider one of my best friends) I admire her work as an elementary school teacher, and recently, a reading specialist for a Gwinnett County school.  I have an incredible little Niece!!!! She is 5 months old and I cherish every moment I get to spend with her! She is very spoiled by her Aunt (me of course!). She is growing up fast and very advanced for her age! My child is 1 and a half and extremely active-Riley. Riley is a lab mix and I adore her!
I am trying to remove negative energy in my life! I know as a human it is very easy to talk about people and have opinions about others. I am working on making every effort to not talk about people unless it is something I would say to their face( this is another whole blog in itself! I will save that one for a later day).
I grew up in Gwinnett County and went to Brookwood schools from Kindergarten up until graduating high school. I loved growing up there. The community was so involved and there was ALWAYS something to look forward to. I went off to Milledgeville, Ga. for my college days. I went to GC&SU and had some of the best times of my life there. I made so many life long friends and was a member of the Delta Zeta Sorority.I would not change a thing about those 5 years I was there. I will cherish those memories forever!
My parents moved to Gainesville to be on Lake Lanier my senior year of college. It was heartbreaking to know that I would no longer be in Snellville and I wouldnt be able to come "home". It was nice, though, that we would be on the lake full-time(we had our weekend getaway home on Lake Oconee when I was in school as well as our Snellville home). I eventually adjusted as Snellville is not the same anymore. Most people have moved to different areas and the community has grown so much now, I hardly recognize it! I dont want to move back there now!
I have had an interesting few years since graduating from College. They have have been some of the most trying years of my life, but I have learned from them and have become a better person(at least I think so)! I know in the end, everything will turn out how it is supposed to!  "If in the end everything is not right then it is not the end" (not sure who is responsible for this quote). I want to get married and have children more than anything! I know that I will make a great mom and wife one day! It will happen when the time is right!
So this is a little about me in a nutshell!
