Happy New Year!!! I figured I would start this whole "blogging thing." I mean, everyone is doing it, right? I have to tell you from the start, I will not be blogging every day. I will do it as much as I can. If you haven't heard from me in a while, feel free to contact me and remind me I have a blog that needs updating.

That being said, let me share a little about me. I am a California girl, through and through. Then how, you may ask, do I find myself FREEZING in the upper Northwest with an address that reads Minnesota?!?!? Well, as they say, "I had to see about a boy." (Whoever "they" are..."they" say and do a lot that gives us all kinds of statistics and sayings and excuses for our behavior) I miss my family and friends terribly, but I had to try this adult thing on my own...following the "man of my dreams." (cheesy i know, but no less true)

It took me 9 months to find a job out here but I finally found one last September. I always get a kick out of peoples' faces when they ask me what I do for a living and I say, "I'm in rehab!" Truth is, I work in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility. This facility is for men and GLBT clients in St Paul, Minnesota (the capitol of the state). I absolutely LOVE my job...not just the people I work with, but the job itself.

I still miss my family. Technology today makes it easier to keep in touch, but nothing beats a real hug from mom!

Hopefully I can keep this blog thing up to date for those who choose to read it. If not, I will keep this for myself.

Peace out...for now.
