An introduction to my life

I suppose this blog will only be for my benefit because I doubt anyone else would want to read about the day to day events in my life... but maybe someday I'll be a famous journalist, novelist or singer and someone might care about what my life was like building up to my greatness.

And if not, my mother will probably read it. I don't have a theme, I'm not traveling anywhere right now, I'm not cooking my way through Julia Childs cookbook, I might voice some political or social opinions but I don't expect to change anyone's mind and I sure as hell don't do missionary work.

I am however trying to write a book

or maybe it should be a screenplay or a musical.I haven't decided yet. While it would be productive to post some chapters and get feedback, I'm not sure I'm ready to put it out there yet. What if no one likes it as much as I do?  It's about an American journalist in 1996-1998 Northern Ireland. Far fetched I know. This blog will probably be another distraction from finishing it.

I've known my husband Matt since I was 14. We met at a local music festival in Sautee, Ga.We also got married at the same location in Sautee on March 12.

 We've always shared a love for

 music among other things. But we haven't physically been together as much as it seems. During those 10 years, I lived in Tacoma, Washington for a year, I lived in Florida for six months and now, even though we're married, I live two hours away from him.

I think we've only lived together a total of three years due to school locations, job

 locations and other 'hiccups' in our relationship. But somehow it works for us. We're happy, but would be much happier if we could see each other more than twice a week. 

He's always played guitar and I've always loved to sing so we make a good pair. Like me and my writing, he's always been shy about his music. I've pushed and pushed for him to play places and recently we've tried to make that happen. We're playing our second show together this Saturday at Fromage, a delicious restaurant in Clayton.

Our friends and family have been our biggest fans so far but we're trying to get our names out there and play more. We're also auditioning next month for Athen's got Talent, a talent show fundraiser.

More to come later about my family, my dog, my job and hopes and dreams. (maybe)
