Last night I spent about an hour and a half looking at my old livejournal. It hasn't been updated in over five years! It was really interesting to read about the important things I thought were post-worthy, not to mention all of the photos from that time. That livejournal was created when I was still in high school. As I was reading through it (and laughing continuously), I found myself remembering things that I had long put in the "not so important" file in the back of my brain. It was an awesome walk down memory lane. After going through my entire "eljay," I thought that it would be a neat idea to start a new, similar journal type thing. Immediately, blogging came to mind.
As I recall, myspace surpassed livejournal as the new wave of social networking. When I got into myspace, I continued to use their blogging feature, but didn't really write as much as I used to. It was more of a forum for photos from various adventures. Then, myspace met it's demise when facebook came onto the scene. And, let's face it, it's weird and creepy to post a ton of "notes" on facebook about your life. For some reason, it's much more normal to post a blog to the entire world of the interwebs as opposed to "notes" that only your "friends" can read. Alas, here's my new blog.
Now, I think a few updates from the last five years are in order. I've since graduated from ACC and working at Ben & Jerry's. I'm now working towards my Bachelors Degree in Geography with a focus in Resource and Environmental Studies at Texas State. In about three months, I'll be celebrating (if that's what you want to call it) my fifth year at Sam's Club. I live with my high school sweetheart, my first and only true love. This past year we celebrated eight years together. At the end of this past year, we also became engaged. Our wedding date is set for our ten year anniversary in about a year and a half. And, I've never been happier than I am right now.
