A New Beginning...

For those of you who don't know me and for those who do but can't remember, the name is Amanda.

I'm not exactly what one would call a blogger. In fact, I used to sarcastically joke about becoming one of those professional bloggers who spend 98% of their day blogging and the other 2% of their day doing things to blog about. If you're one of those people, I'm sorry for the joke, I'm sure you do fantastically fun things in that 2% of time :). But I figured while I'm here, I might as well make my mark on cyberspace. Though it is slightly a whole new concept to me.

So my goal for the beginning of this whole blogging conspiracy that I have now joined is to simply write about the good, the bad, the adventures and of course the laughs that I encounter on this crazy path we call life. Feel free to stalk, follow, read (or whatever else it is that they call it) as I attempt to "blog."
