A New Year, A New Adventure

Well, I decided to start a blog. Why, you might ask?

• I love blogs. 
• I waste insane amounts of time on other people's blogs. 
• I think it's fascinating to get a glimpse into other people's lives. 
• I consider blogs to be the "modern day" version of a  diary or journal. 
• Basically, I want to have some type of record of my life.

Hopefully that last bullet point doesn't sound snobish... I don't know that my life has been, or ever will be, an exciting piece of history that someone might appreciate someday. However, I do know that my mom has always been Amazing at keeping a journal of her vacations, her children's lives (including me!), and other events that have happened, which I absolutely LOVE! It's so fun to look back through those journals and read about all the little details that you would have otherwise forgotten. Many of the details are just that, small details that may not seem to matter but somehow they do...to me I guess it is all about the history and the little things that have shaped you into who you are today. 

Which leads me into my next point...Who am I? 

My name is Julie. I'm 25 and live in a small town in Kansas. I married my best friend and high school sweetheart, Seth, 3 months ago and I couldn't be happier. Plenty more to come about Seth in future posts:) I'm insanely indecisive and on occasions have to have everything be perfect...one of the reason's it took me so long to start a blog was because I couldn't decide on a perfect name or what my first blog post should be. Lame, I know. I absolutely love anything creative and am sometimes overwhelmed by the amount of ideas swirling around in my brain. Traveling and eating are two of my favorite things and I like to think I do both well:) My cooking can sometimes be a little sketchy, but now that I'm married I'm trying to expand my arsenal of edible dishes...spaghetti and hamburger helper can get a little old after 3 nights in a row. I'm a night owl by nature which is not amazing when you have a typical 8-5 job. I believe in God but am enjoying my time on Earth for now. In the future, Seth and I hope to have children and until then we are enjoying married life as we know it. 

I guess I will end my first blog post here and try to fall asleep before my alarm decides it wants to be thrown across the room.
