Here Goes Nothin

I'm 25 and just trying to figure out life. But then, isn't everyone tackling that task, no matter what age?

This is my first shot at blogging. Why do it? Well, I've always loved writing and thought this would be a great way to "talk" about the many trial, tribulations, laughs and downright nonsense that life holds. Am I any good at it? Well, that's for you to decide.

Now first, to set the scene. I think it's only fair I give some background on myself. I grew up in Southern California and attended college at UC Santa Barbara. Now most people would think, why leave that sunny weather and sandy beaches? Like a lot of recent graduates, I felt I needed a "change". Naturally, I chose New York City. Okay, maybe not such an obvious choice. But I was a hungry young lady and lusted after a fast paced life in the glamorous city. I think I can partly blame shows like Sex and the City and Felicity, which I'm pretty sure every young woman admired and wanted to practically jump through the television and walk along the city streets with the characters. Needless to say, New York is an extraordinary city and a challenging one. Luckily I have great friends and had a great job at an Investor Relations firm and at times I am somewhat relentless which provided for some great adventures.

During my time in the illustrious city, I met and fell head over heels for an absolutely fantastic man. Three years later... we recently got married and moved to South Carolina. The move was prompted by us buying a franchise - I suppose you could consider me a nomad of sorts combined with a risk taker - at least in my recent adult life.

So that is the 50,000 foot overview of my life up until now. I plan to peel back the layers of these journeys which inevitably hold some fabulous memories, good laughs and a lot of learning on my part. Like I said before, I'm 25 and just trying to figure out life.
