Testing, testing....

It doesn't make sense that I am here. I'll just go ahead and put that out there. I don't like to have a lot of attention on me because inevitably, somebody won't like what I have to say and I have a bad habit of letting what people say get to me. I'd rather just avoid the situation entirely.....

So why am I here?

That's a good question. Blogging is something I've been contemplating doing for a few months. I just finished graduate school and I guess I'm looking for something else to fill my time. I'm also in desperate need of a place to just be ME. The Mister and I both have jobs that put us under scrutiny, and we both have to watch what we say in order to remain professional. (Ha, that makes us sound so awesome and important. Maybe I'll just let you think that...) ;) I need a place to VENT! Hence the blog.

Some things you should know about me: I'm in education and my husband is in ministry. We're both in our early to mid twenties and starting down the TTC path, which is both crazy exciting and scary. I love, love, love him and we make a great team. We met in 2005 on a mission trip and were married on November 17, 2007. I am a self-professed compulsive people pleaser, and I'm working on that. I'm (slowly) learning that just because some people may disagree with me doesn't mean that I'm wrong. My number one pet peeve is people who think they know everything, and I will often not speak up even when I know that I am right because I just don't like confrontation. That leads to a LOT of frustration after awhile, so I guess this blog is my first foray into making myself heard. (Ooo, introspective). It's hard to earn my respect, but once you've got it, I will be very loyal. My favorite people are people who are quick-witted and funny, preferably sarcastically funny (Sawyer from LOST, anyone?).

Aight, so....that's (part of) me. Let's see where this goes!
