As I start this blog tonight I know that I will not finish it tonight. There is so much to cover here but I will attempt to make a dent. So I met my husband in Madrid, Spain in the summer of 2006. I had been there for the third time since the summer of 2005. I had been on a study abroad program a year earlier and had met and fell in love with a Moroccan/"non practicing Muslim" man (those were his words.) After the program had ended I stayed on and moved in with him. We spent the rest of the summer getting to know each other better and even spent a week at my families condominium in Marbella which is in Anda Lucia, the south of Spain. When summer came to an end we made a commitment to each other and planned to see each other again when I had my next break from school. I returned to school and we kept it going. Do not get me wrong, it was tough and there was little communication at times but we kept it going. I guess each of us assumed the other was still in it. I kept the fait

OMG! I have one word to say and that is WOW! WOW! Seriously WOW! What in the world happened to high school? I was invited to go to my nephew/godson's talent show at my old almamater. I was excited about the evening because I had been to previous Christmas concerts of his at the school and was always pleased with the performances and impressed with the talents of my nephew and the other students.

So as we ventured out to start our evening, Mom, Dad, me and my brother (Jeremy's dad) climbed into the car and headed toward the campus. I always get this indescribable feeling as I head up the campus drive way. A bit of nostalgia, anxiety, excitement and sadness overcomes me. Everything still looks pretty much the same which adds to the rush of emotion. We park the car and head into the auditoriu

Well hello there. I am happy to announce that today is my first day at blogging. I was introduced to bloggin about four years ago while I was earning my Associates degree. I had no earthly idea what the hec the lecturer was talking about and felt very inadequate as I was listening to him explain to us that it was sooo easy that even his tween daughter was doing it with video uploads and all. Anyway here I am four years later after having lunch with a good friend who urged me that this would be another great way to market myself. I can say that I am finally at a point where I feel confidant enough to do this. So thank you dear friend, thank you. I am excited about what's to come and look forward to my future blogs and subscribing to other inspirational blog writers. Here's to you and me!
