A Blog Update

Every so often, I get a little spell where I want to keep up with this blog again. And it's hit me again. However, I really don't want to lose this.

See, I created this blog over two years ago, shortly before my college graduation. I knew that I was planning on staying in North Carolina, but still deeply cared about all the people I was leaving behind in NJ and elsewhere. Calling so many people on a regular basis is difficult, I sometimes forget Grandma, and she's obviously the most important. So I started this blog to help people stay in the loop with what was new with me. 

The problem is... I never felt ready to share it. And I want to.

Last week I was across the country at a cousin's wedding and realized that most of the people there, i.e. all of my extended family, didn't know what was new with my life, and I had seen all but two of them at Christmas this year. So then I'm repeating the same conversation over and over. Now granted I didn't have much good news to share, as telling everyone I lost my job was not really a conversation I wanted to have eighteen times at a wedding of all places, but it's the fact that I could have been doing something about it. (At Christmas, I got to tell everyone about the new house I moved into in November, so sometimes there's good stuff!) 

The wedding was a week ago today, and now I'm back home, and I'm ready to fix that. And I'm ready to share this. Well, almost. I've done a few updates, you see. I updated my About Me, and it's quite detailed now. I changed the background, and I added my Goodreads widget, since it's probably the website I spend the most time on these days.
