And so it begins...

I resisted this whole blogging thing for a while. I'll confess I thought it was kind of narcissistic. My life is way too boring for people to read about on a daily basis. After reading a couple of people's blogs, I decided that I really enjoyed reading other people's blogs and that it might be kind of fun.

So a little introduction is in order I suppose.....Well let's see. I'm 25 and have been married to my Husband for just over a year. I live in the DC metro area and work for the federal government. I enjoy my job somewhat. I working at another agency temporarily right now which where I really want to be, dealing with international affairs. However, I'm not sure the office I'm in right now has room for me so I will probably have to go back to my original agency (boo!) in July. Although I will be getting a significant pay raise in August, which I am looking forward to.

It sounds really cliche, but it is so true. My marriage is such a source of joy in my life. I never knew that I would find someone so wonderful and that I click with so much. My parents have a pretty good marriage, but my Dad is very stubborn and overbearing, convinced that he is right pretty much all the time. I've seen them fight over the years and I thought that was how all marriages were. I suppose DH and I have not faced that much tough stuff yet. But I know that DH is nothing like my Father and that makes me happy.

The first year has been great and I look forward to many more great years. He makes me laugh and smile on a daily basis and I look forward to coming home to his smiling face. We've decided to take a big step in our marriage and we're going to start TTC. I'm finishing up my BCP on Sunday and we'll see where that takes us. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm worried that we don't have a house yet, but I don't want to wait until we get a house 'cause houses are expensive around here and it may be a year or two before we can save a down payment. Maybe not the most prudent thing, but it will work for us, I think.

I would like to keep this blog away from my IRL friends, because I'm not sure what they would think about me having a blog. Plus, there are a lot of details in here that I would like to keep in anonymity. I suppose this works for a first installation.
