Introduction

Well, this is it, I've started a blog. So many of my friends have blogs, I finally jumped onto the bandwagon and started one of my own. Many of my friends' blogs are about getting married and their expanding families, but I doubt mine will be that interesting, I'm not quite at that point of my life.

What point of my life am I at? Well I just graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia in May with a Bachelors of Fine Arts and two minors in Textile and Apparel Management and Art History (don't ask what I'm planning on doing with these degrees, I'm working on it.) Two days after graduation, my boyfriend Keegan and I packed up our entire lives and moved to a big ol' town in Mississippi (/sarcasm.) Why would I choose to leave my hometown with all of my friends and family for a tiny town in a state that I have no desire to be in you ask? Well, the answer is simple. When your boyfriend decides to major in field that allows him to work in a handful of places in the country, you go where the job is, and the job that was offered to Keegan just happened to be in Mississippi. Of course, I didn't HAVE to move with Keegan, but our entire relationship thus far has been long distance (we lived about an hour and a half away from each other due to school,) and our first 8 months of being together we lived over 8 hours away (because Keegan was doing a co-op) and we didn't want to do that again for any long length of time, so I decided to put all of my faith into him and move. So far, besides Mississippi being a pretty big culture shock, it hasn't been all bad. I was really scared that after a year and bit of living long distance, all of a sudden being thrown together 24/7 would be a huge change for us, but things are working out well. The first few weeks of Keegan being at work, I didn't have a car and was stuck at home all day so I was pretty stir-crazy by the time he got home, but after getting a car and an internship, I'm staying pretty busy.

Basically this blog is a way for me to talk about my crazy new life in Mississippi, trying to get used to a new "big-girl" life after college. I honestly don't care if people read my blog, it will be more of a public journal that people are allowed to comment on if they want to (I would love to get comments, I just highly doubt I will lol.)

So people of the interwebs, read away into all of my rantings and ramblings. I can't promise that they will be well written, or make sense most of the time, but they are mine.
