Well here it goes...

I'm a Texas girl who moved to Illinois with her girlfriend. I know what many of you are thinking... "why the heck would you leave the Lone Star State?" Truth is, because of the love of my life. She was offered a promotion, and I was tired of my job, and didn't quite know what I wanted to do 'when I grew up' so I decided it was time for a change. So we packed up our family (two dogs and two cats) and began our 15 hour drive to our new "home".


Things have been... different, however pleasantly surprising so far :) Everyone has been extremely accepting here (so far at least) a new change of pace to the life I was living in Texas. So far I'm enjoying the summer weather. It has yet to hit 100 degrees where back in Texas we would have started the triple digit trend late May. I just hope I can survive the winter.

I've had to make a few adjustments, the biggest one being not working. I'm currently back in school studying to become and EMT. Firefighting has always been passion of mine, and school seemed like a for sure way to reaching that dream.

So hold on tight... it's going to be a mish-mash of posts but hopefully a lot of fun :)
