Hello everyone!
Earlier, I thought that this was a post I should have done when starting this blog. But I decided against it in an effort to stay anonymous. Obviously, that didn't pan out. And making myself somewhat known has worked out loads better than anonymity ever could.
Anyways, here are a few things I feel you should know about me. My husband and I have been married for almost seven months. He's a military man, and we mad a move 1,000 miles away from our hometown right after we got married. There wasn't a church, dress, cake, or a reception. We eloped. Don't worry, we've been friends since I was fifteen and both of us liked each other in high school. He dated other people, and so did I. When it finally came time and he tried to make his first move, I rejected him to focus on getting a decent scholarship to get into college.
A few years passed after I graduated, we started talking again over Facebook and texting, and then it was my turn to get rejected. He was stationed in Europe for two years, and he had gone through a rough patch when I told him that I had more-than-a-friend feelings for him. (And yes, I did tell him I had "more-than-a-friend" feelings for him.) Long story short, we started dating a little over a year ago, and he flew me out to see him for spring break. After that, we both knew that all the time we spent looking for our soulmate, we were staring each other in the face.
We moved shortly after we moved from our hometown, he surprised me with the best gift a 21 year old girl could ever ask for; a puppy. Copper was a whopping eleven pounds when we got him, and from the second he was in my arms, he's stuck with me ever since. As I'm typing this post, he's snuggled on the couch next to me hoarding all my throw blankets. My husband gets Copper's attention only when he comes home from work. Other than that, this little puppy follows me all over the house, and I swear, he knows exactly what I'm saying.
For the most part, I would like to keep my name and the name of my husband/family anonymous. That's only because I'm afraid of my identity getting stolen, getting abducted, having random strangers start following me...you get the picture. It's a very scary world out there, especially for someone with anxiety.
If you haven't already guessed it, I'm into a plethora of nerdy things. Star Wars, Star Trek, Eragon, Harry Potter, reading, computer games, dog training, eating, cooking, baking, The Office, Supernatural, and a zillion other things that will be popping up here in the blog from time to time. Writing is a huge part of my life, and it feels amazing to finally be utilizing my passion.

I would love to learn more about my readers, so please comment or email me. You guys are a huge part of why I started this blog in the first place. If I can help one person through my writing, then I have succeeded.
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend, all of you!
Live long and prosper.
