Well, I was planning on going to sleep but since it's already midnight and I have to wake up at 6 am, why not spend a few more minutes blogging.  I'm going to put up a bunch of silly, ridiculous pictures of myself, my friends, and my family so you can have a clue as to who I am and where I come from:

This is me (on left) and my friend Taylor. We can't take a normal picture.

This is me (on the ground) and Taylor. Once again, not a normal picture. On the beach at Myrtle Beach, SC.

Taylor, Jessica, and Myself at some bar in Myrtle Beach Summer 2011

My friend Katlin, who moved away to Charlotte, NC and I miss her dearly!

This was our vacay group of friends, from left: Sarah, Jessica, ME, Taylor, and Justin. Yes, Justin went with all girls, by the end of the week I thought he was going to kill us.

This is the most perfect human I've ever know. My nephew, Levi was born on May 27, 2011 and I am forever grateful for him. I have never loved anyone as much as I love him.

My sister and I circa 1993, shut up- Glamour Shots were ALL the rage back then.

My extended cousins

Levi, a bit more grown up now. 

Levi, Me, and My sister at our step sister's wedding

De Bebe and me. He looks so pleased.

My two step sisters: Megan and Meredith, then Taylor and Myself.

My best friend, Sarah. She lives 2 hours away but it feels like the other side of the world with our crazy busy schedules. I'm having withdrawls.

So, I'm going to start using this blog. I think I'm over tumblr. I want to be able to post recipes, talk about my life, show pictures, talk about nonsense and boys, and vent if I need to. I feel like with tumblr I've lost the appeal and don't really want to be on there anymore.  I have ZERO followers here so it is nice to be able to write about whatever it is that I want to write about.  So, here's my face for anyone that might come across this page.

And for those of you that don't care about my face, you should probably change the channel or skip on to the next blog because I plan on showing it a lot. I'm losing weight, I'm on a plan, I'm going to start working out more, so I'll want to show off the results! I'm sick of living my life but not enjoying my life. I'm too young to sit back and curl up into the world. I want to experience things, to travel, to meet people from far away places, to laugh more every day, to stop eating out of emotion or boredom, to start eating out of intuition and for nutrition.  Hope you're on board with me! I'm a pretty awesome person and I intend to amplify that this year. 2012, we're going to do great and wonderful things, I'm convinced.  If we don't, I'll send this cowboy after ya.
