The beginning

Well, this is it.  I've been thinking about doing a blog for some time now, but had several lame-sauce excuses for not doing so.  So, here we go!

Mostly I 've thought about doing a blog about different things I've learned in my life and just haven't had the opportunity to share them.  Things from life, church, life, work, friends....life!  I've always been one to shy away from "look at me" stuff, and this isn't meant to do that either.  Just needed an avenue to share things that I think might better someone, even if it's just me.  There may be some rants, but mostly those will just come out of frustration for people (including myself) not being better than they can be.  Those have been my usual frustrations of late.

So, a little about me.  I am LDS (Mormon) and proud of it!  It has shaped my life and made me who I am.  At times is it incredibly frustrating to live?! Sure is!  But I know the outcomes will be better if I live my life the way I should. 

Another thing about me that I am incredibly proud of, is that I'm the shortest member of my family.  And at 5'11" for a girl, that's pretty crazy.  Granted to me, it doesn't seem that tall, I've been that height since I was 13 and I'm surrounded by family that is taller.  My sister is about an inch taller than me and I have 4 brothers that range from 6'4" to 6'8".  And then my sister goes and marries a guy that's 6'10", or something ridiculous like that.  Yep, we're giants, and yes, we play basketball!

Actually, sports is kind of my life. I've played mostly basketball, but also volleyball, softball, tennis, and most recently golf.  Done a lot of sports, just not soccer.  I enjoy watching it, professional, but I'm not talented with my feet at all.  Don't dance, my form of "fancy footwork" is a layup or a volleyball approach.  I absolutely L-word football! Don't get me wrong, I like men, I just happen to be a girl that likes men and would be very happy to watch football for a date.

So here goes letting you into a little slice of my life.  Get some popcorn, it might be more entertaining to pick out those stinkin kernels than read some of these!
