I am ...

So, this blog thing … I love to write so I thought maybe it would be for me. I’m not a real big fan of talking about myself, and I’m only me, so, I’m not sharing this blog with many people. In fact, I don’t know that a soul will read it. But I think it will be a good release.

I’m not like everyone else. I run funny, I don’t think like other people do and I certainly don’t fit the mold for how normal people act. That’s ok. Who decided normal?

I am 24. I don’t feel all grown up like you’re supposedly supposed to be at such an age. I graduated from college 2.5 years ago, and I miss it. Hopefully I’ll be back to the books in the near future. I have a good job in public relations. It’s never boring – sometimes I write a speech, sometimes I plan an event for all of the employees, sometimes I create a newsletter. The job is solid, but at 5 p.m. I am ready to get the heck out of there because…

I am an endorphins addict. I took up triathlons a year ago, but before that it was half marathons. Before that it was shorter races. I’m slow. And I run funny. But, you know, I love it. My workout partner is my dad, and I love the relationship we’ve developed while running, biking, swimming, etc. Exercise keeps me sane.

The church scene is a big part of my life. I believe it. I love it. God and I have our disagreements, but He wins every time. If you’re reading, stop now if you don’t want to hear about this gospel thing because it makes me me.

I’m happy most of the time, but I fight every moment for it because it’s lost in an instant if I let it go. I try to think about others, that keeps me from thinking about the things that are tough. There has been a lot of “tough” lately. But again, I’m fighting.

I love my nieces and nephews, listening to the rain, watching the sunset and the smell of laundry. I’m me.
