So, I am not sure about whether I will enjoy actually blogging. I became a member because I wanted to follow "The House on the Hill". I love reading Kathy's blogs :0)
Now for the real problem. I don't think that I have enough going on in my life to actually blog about. I work, cook, read, watch TV, listen to music, play with my dog, and spend time with my husband. Although I have kind of taken a break from my guitar, I love playing it. None of which makes great copy!

For now, I guess I will start by saying that I grew up in Long Point, IL. I still love that little town and miss the simplicity and familiarity. I went to Woodland High School, then to Dominican University in River Forest. I majored in Sociology/Criminology. After college, I married my high school sweetheart and love of my life, Jeremy. Although we have been married for just 5 years, we have been dating since I was 15. I have been with him for over half my life. I remember telling him in 8th grade that we were going to get married. He laughed and told me I was crazy for thinking that, we are only in 8th grade, lol. Anyone that really knows me, knows that he basically challenged me to marry him that night :0) And I am thankful every day that he set my stubborn crazy head on that course.

Jeremy's job then handed us a surprise. We packed up and moved 14 hours away to New Jersey. Now I am working as an Assistant Supervisor in a group home for disabled adults. I could talk about how much I love this job for far too long, so I will move on. Will have to do another blog on my job.
This is the farthest either of us has been from family in our lifetimes. I do have to say that I love it here, but its hard not to get lonely too. There is definately never a shortage of things to do. Close to the beach, the mountains, and the city. The only way it could get better is if I could share this with family!
I remind myself all the time that I am so lucky to be part of such a large family. Not everyone has that experience and it is something I could never imagine going without. Even though we are scattered, I am still luckier than most.
So, I think that is me in a nutshell, sortof.
Blogging is a great way to share what you do and where you live with that family! I keep saying it's very cheap therapy. But it really does help chase the lonelies away. And I'm going to be your first follower!
ReplyDeleteAnd I will be your second follower. Your family will love your blog because it will make them a part of your day to day life. And it really helps with missing each other. Believe it or not, it makes being away from Kathy a little easier. And I thoroughly enjoyed your very first post!
ReplyDeleteI will hope for some stuff from your kitchen. ane all those unused cookbooks. :)
ReplyDeleteYea!!! Two followers, lol, I am famous!!! I was thinking about doing some kitchen blogs, that looks fun :0) I wish I would have done this last week. I roasted a 10 lb. pork shoulder. It was ridiculously huge, and made yummy carnitas. Now it all has to be in my freezer awaiting the next yummy meal. It was such a good sale that I couldn't pass it up, even if 10lbs for two people is a little overkill!
ReplyDeleteDo it when you pull some out of the freezer. I did one of mine the next day cause I didn't think about it at the time. I just put the left over on the plate and took a pic. Then I ate it for lunch! and I won't tell which one.
