Drum Roll.....

Well, I did it. I started a blog. After a year of my husband encouraging me to, "Just start a blog already", here I am!
I caved.
I guess it's taken me so long because I just wasn't sure what I would write about.
Would anyone read it?
Would I post enough to make it worth it?
I'm not one of those "eloquently worded" writers, and my grammar isn't always 100% correct.
Oh, and my spelling? With out spell check, I'm worse than a third grader!
It seems as though everyone has a blog these days, and I'm sure to be just another blog in the sea of blogs.
So, after much thought on the matter, I decided to just do it. Who cares if anyone reads it?
Ok, I might care a little, but I'm doing this for ME.

I recently started going through what some may call a "quarter life crisis." I've been feeling like there's something much bigger than myself that I'm supposed to be accomplishing.
Something a little more than being a mommy and a wife. More than gardening and baking. Even though I LOVE all of those things, I am on a search for something that's different than the everyday. A hobby outside of the home life.
I guess this was all triggered by seeing so many of my friends and former classmates graduating college and/or getting "real" jobs.
You know, like the kind of jobs you used to have to write about as a kid for a school project. A lawyer, doctor, ballet dancer, police officer, business owner, etc. Those kinds of jobs, making real money. And here I am, almost 26, dropped out of college after less than a year, with no trade skills to offer the world, not even a drivers license! (Yes, I know. A 26 year old that doesn't have the ability to drive, and all because I just haven't taken the test yet! No, I NEVER had my license, and let me tell you, depending on other people to go places SUCKS! But, I did live in the city for nearly 4 years and didn't have to worry about driving for a while, so that didn't help motivate me! I'm working on it, though! I know how to operate a vehicle, just a matter of making it legal, haha!)
But, I am a mommy! A full time mom of a wonderful 3 1/2 year old girl, and to tell the truth, that's all I've ever wanted to be! I'd just like to add something more to my "life resume", if you will.
Still searching for what, exactly, it will be.
I know one thing I've always wanted to do, is to inspire people. Deeply inspire them, in some way. Whether it be from a picture I take, a poem I write, advice I give, or in some other magical way, to create a spark inside someone.
Who knows?
Maybe I will!

Cheers, and goodnight!
