But in all fairness I have been busy.
I started 2012 off by heading up to the New Jersey area for a week for work. Due to the fact I had not been to Jersey in ten years it was very interesting, and involved a lot of sightseeing.
After returning to Virginia I began planning Greg’s 30th birthday. It involved a lot of preparing and cooking but turned out to be a major success where Greg got to spend his birthday with the people he loves.
He loves to Garden.
Therefore, it’s been a VERY busy 2 weeks.
But I was determined to start this blog and am determined to follow it through.
Through this blog I want to share my life where I balance a full time job, a part time job (I like to call it my college loans job), a relationship, family and life as it comes.
In my blog I plan to share the following:
1. Recipes -- I love to cook, but for many 20 something’s straight out of college, balancing a busy schedule, trying to eat well and stay within a budget can be complicated. Being a year graduated from college I hope to share some healthy recipes with y’all that will fit into everyone schedule and budget.
2. Relationship advice -- As I said, “I’ve kissed A LOT of toads.” I have met the love of my life and enjoy everything that we share together. I hope to share some of our adventures with you along with some of our secrets to an equal and fun relationship
3. Home -- Okay, as every other 20 something out of college that does not have mommy and daddy paying their bills (yup not that lucky), I live in a semi-nice apartment outside of the city. Lucky for me (and unlucky for Greg) my boyfriend owns a gorgeous townhome out in Centreville. My goal for this year is to take his bachelor pad and turn it in to a home. I will share my triumphs -- and fails -- at redecorating a home.
4. Keeping a schedule- trying to keep work and life balanced is a difficult task for anyone. I will share with you some of my tricks of the tradce and look forward to receiving your advice on how to stay organized and balance life, a schedule and your finances.
5. Adventures -- Between my job and my boyfriend I am always out on an adventure, whether it be exploring D.C. or the local country side, or watching the sun set on the Pacific Ocean, I am always doing something new. I plan to share the places I go, the things I see, and the places I eat.
6. Working out -- When moving to D.C. I began to make working out a part of my life. Now that its starting to get warm again I plan to be better about this and incorporating it in to my daily life. I will share with you my training, my goals and hopefully help to get more people up and moving.
7. Life as we know it -- Every day is a new adventure for everyone. I appreciate you letting me share my adventures with you. I hope that together we can experience 2012 together.
2012 has already started out busy and I look forward to it being a fun and exciting year that you would be so kind to let me share with you!
