This is me.

I've tossed around the idea of starting a blog for a couple months now, but being that I'm a novice when it comes to the whole "blogging thing" and I've pretty much ignored their existence until recently, I was kind of hesitant.  The little insecure kid in me piped up with thoughts like, "Amanda, do you really think anyone cares what you have to say?" or "You have no formal writing experience, you're going to sound ridiculous".  But after quieting those childish fears and a little light "blog browsing" I became overwhelming inspired.  Especially by one blog in particular that happens to belong to our family friend Jodi.  Wow!  To say that she has an amazing way with words is a total understatement.  Anyway, as I was reading I realized that there is no right or wrong when it comes to blogging.  That's the cool thing about it.
So here I am, this is me.  I decided it's better to put myself out there and try something new rather than just thinking about trying something new like I usually do.  This blog has no agenda, no theme and no real purpose.  Well, I take that last part back, it has a purpose.  This is my way of working things out and trying to sort through the bizillion crazy thoughts I have running through my head at any given moment...so ready or not, here we go!
