ground rules.

Every few months, I decide I should blog. I start one, write a few posts and eventually, my own interest dissipates.  I can only imagine what the few readers who came across my {old} blogs must have felt. 

Well, here is another attempt...but this time, I have a purpose. A real, solid purpose.  

I woke up today and realized I need this blog for a few reasons:
-to remember how I got where I am today {after three years of long distance}
-to fend off my shopping urges {in other words, loving things from a distance...not in my apartment}

-to alleviate the pain of having nearly everyone I love {besides my husband, of course} live more than two hours away

So, here's to a new start...I'm hoping this is the beginning of something beautiful.
