C'est Moi

Due to a new found plethora of time I have decided to take the dive into the blogging world. I know, I know...a little late to the game. But what the heck, right? I thought for my first post it would be beneficial to give a little background on who I am and how I got here. I am a 22 year old graduate from Brigham Young University with a degree in Illustration who currently resides in my parents spare bedroom. I guess you could say I am earning a degree in life right now as opposed to actually applying the degree I have already obtained. I grew up in this same house in Allen, Texas for the larger part of my life. Being raised in the South (Carolinas and Texas), I am a firm believer in Southern hospitality, true gentlemen and fried food. I am a middle child. I have an older brother and a younger sister. Consequently, I have been diagnosed with classic 'middle child syndrome.' In fact just recently my mom was looking at our childhood scrapbooks and said she had done my siblings' but not the scrapbook for the 'other one'. The 'other one' is me. However my family is by far the most important thing in my life. I have found out the hard way that through thick and thin, despite how hard you try, you cannot be rid of them...and I need people like that in my life. After living a settled life in Utah for the past four years, I have been thrown back into the rat race and am struggling to find my way. You could currently peg me as a 15 year old living in a 22 year olds body. I have no job, no home, practically no money and absolutely no idea what I am doing. I left all of that behind to start a new book in my life. Some people say they are starting a new chapter. For me this phrase is completely insufficient, it implies you are merely moving forward while building upon the past. I however, with the exception of my loyal dog Toby, am starting anew. So hopefully this blog will chronicle my future adventures and act as my personal peanut gallery. Or at least as a place to share my random joys and laughs with whoever cares to listen. Enjoy.
