My first...

I started this blog with a purpose in mind.  I need a place to freely vent my frustrations, share my joys, and just ramble in general.  My sister in law is a long time blogger, so I guess my inspiration for this would be her.  I didn't start this blog with the mind set of blogging multiple times a day.  Hell, let's be realistic, I doubt I'll even blog every day!  I'm a mommy, a wife, an employee, a daughter, sister, student, and employee too.  So, committing to the daily blog is just totally out of the question for me. 
So a little background on me..  I'm married to the love of my life.  We both work in the public services field and can very much relate to each others daily struggles and disappointments on a professional level.  He's my soul mate and my best friend.  We have two daughters, Morgan (14) and Madison (16 months).  They are the light to the sometimes dark world that we live in.  I am totally addicted to the SIMS and my iPad.  I have some of the most amazing friends any person could ask for.  I have on brother and one niece.  My parents have always been people I look up to.  If not for them, I wouldn't have the moral values that I do and wouldn't have learned to love life for what it is. 
I struggle with self image issues.  I'm overweight (yes, I will admit it) but I also know that I must commit myself to the changes necessary to overcome that battle.  My husband and I have made the decision to set goals and work towards them together.  This year will be a year of changes and challenges and I'm ready to take them on full force.
Something I'm going to steal from my sister in law.. I'm going to make a bucket list.. Although, mine may not be as elaborate as hers to start (she has done two now, 101 things in 1001 days), starting and reaching goals is what it's all about!!
