Hello BlogWorld

Well, I've done it.  I, the epitomy of the technologically non-advanced, have created this blog for no other reason than to write about my family, my interests, my life, my job, my friends..... Hmmmm, is there an underlying theme here?  I'm not sure why anyone in their right mind would care in the least about any of those things, yet here I am! Truth is, my co-best friend Heather (we have a nifty best-friend triangle) has been writing a blog for a little over a year (I think), and she does a fabulous job.  (Shameless plug for her blog - http://www.anothertenmiles.blogspot.com/)  Combine her sense of humor with topics that are actually interesting, and it's a win-win for everyone!  I suppose my decision to join the blogging world is sort of a cross between her "inspiration" and sheer competition to see if I can be as good as her.  I can pretty much answer that question right now, but hey, I'll give it my best shot! 

So, I'm a brand-spanking new mommy - okay, I guess I do have 2 months under my belt - and I'll just admit that, no matter how much experience I had with kids before (essentially my entire life!), I know absolutely nothing about being a parent.  It's quite different from what I imagined during those 9 (um, really 10) months of dreaming about my sweet little angel.  Of course, she is a little angel, even at midnight, 2 a.m., 4 a.m., and 5 a.m.  They should have a pre-pregnancy class that teaches potential parents to deal with little-to-no sleep, no money, screaming/crying, projectile vomit, and a miniature roommate who constantly needs something .  Oh wait - that almost sounds like college dorm life (hehe).  Seriously though, I am super excited about my baby girl and I love, love, LOVE waking up to her cries every day.  It means that I have a purpose.  I have this little person that God entrusted to me, and I am responsible for her precious life every single day.  I can't wait to watch her grow and change into a little lady - to see what she achieves and aspires to in her life. 

And with that said, she is aspiring after my attention and a bottle as we speak.  Til next time......
