Hello there... I guess I should start out with my reasoning behind starting this blog.
A little over a year ago, I got married and moved from a little town in Central Ohio to a moderately sized town in Central New Jersey. As anyone who knows me can attest, I am absolutely horrible at staying in touch with people! I don't mean to be; I am just very easily distracted and before I know it, months have passed without me talking to my mum or my best friend! So I decided to try my hand at blogging - that way, Mum won't have to start our phone conversations with, "Are you still alive?".
Secondly, I feel as though I have hit a bit of a rut lately. I have been looking for something to do that I would enjoy and would give me a little more purpose in life, so I am trying my hand at writing (albeit for a personal blog that only three or four people will read)... And since one of my resolutions this year is to follow through and stop drifting (as much), the blog is born!
And finally, in about six months or so, Adrian and I will be moving to Britain for a time. He received an awesome fellowship in London, and I - after much deliberation - have decided to go with him. This blog will not only give me something to do while I am there, but it will force me to go have adventures. Moving somewhere completely foreign is always a little scary, and I am a little worried that while Adrian is at work, I will do nothing but stay in our flat and watch television. Having a reason to go out and do things will force me to be more independent, less insecure, and hopefully lead me to discover a lot of cool, new things I wouldn't have otherwise.
So this blog is not only intended as a way to keep in touch, but to also act as my motivator. I can't promise that updates will be frequent, but I am going to try very hard to keep to some kind of schedule. I can't promise that updates will be interesting, but I am going to try and push myself.
Here's to 2013.
