Welcome

As some may know, I'm a bit of a Facebook and MySpace junkie. Most recently facebook, as it seems to be everyone I went to highschool with has a facebook account. In my boredom, I tend to check out friend's pages, which lead me to their friend's pages. In the process of doing this last night, I checked out a certain friends blog. Which led me to find a list of a billion other blogs by people I haven't talked to in awhile. After reading these blogs, I decided to start one of my own. I normally blog on my MySpace, and although people usually read my posts, it's not public to everyone unless you have a MySpace account. Thus, my transferring to blogspot....if anyone cares enough to read what I have to say. Most of the posts I write, will be venting, or just talking about things going on in my life. I am pretty opinionated, so hopefully nobody will be offended by anything I write. But sometimes it happens, so I apologize in advance if it does.

So to start this blog, I think I should probably tell a little about myself. I work at Komatsu Equipment as the corporate receptionist. For the past year, I've been doing half days at reception and half days for warranty, but due to warranty being slow, I've moved back to the front desk full time. Next month, I will be moving over to our accounting department to cover for Kristen, who will be going on maternity leave. I'll have worked here for 3 years in January of next year. My work is actually where I met my husband, Jase. He and I both started work on the same day and went through our orientation together. He was in the I.T. dept. and was usually the one who fixed my computer problems, so we started talking. At the time, I was still with my ex, so it made things a little complicated. The relationship I was in, was going downhill, and I knew it was going to end. It was a very difficult time of my life, but I made it through and well...here I am. Jase and I got married a year ago, and he had full custody of his son, so I became an instant mom. My stepson, Killian is about to turn 4 and really is a great kid. Jase's ex doesn't come around so Killian sees me as his mom. I really love being a mom!

After a couple hard months, Jase and I finally bought and moved into our first house. Our apartment was starting to turn really trashy so it was good we got out when we did. We now live in Murray, and our neighborhood is really great. Most everyone is friendly, quiet, and
respectful. There's only a little bit of work we'll have to do to make it our home too. The main living room has some wallpaper I don't particularly care for, so we're currently in the plans to re-do that room. When we get pregnant, we'll figure out what to do with the future baby room. We will shortly be having a friend of mine stay with us, but when she moves, we're going to turn the room downstairs into my singing room. It's currently an orangy color so it'll be painted and accented with all things music. I haven't been able to sing like I really want to, because we didn't have space in our apartment so I am so excited to finally have a room of my own. My cats also really like our house. I currently have 4 cats, Matsu (named after my work), Mia, Lily (short for lil one), and Marshmallow.


Mia Lily

Marshmallow Matsu

Marshy is actually my sister's cat, but we're keeping him until they can find their own place. They had to move out of the house they were in and are staying with friends so it was hard to take the pets with them. But if they take too long, we may be so attached to Marshy that we won't wanna give him back. He's such a cool kitty. He's huge and has fluffy white fur, hence the name haha. But he's so friendly and easy going so it's great to have him around.
We also have a cockatiel named Nibs. I named her that because she likes to nibble with her beak. I never thought I was the type of person to have a bird as a pet, but she's grown on me a lot. Jase's ex was really into birds so they had at least 5 cockatiels and Jase grew to love them. One day at the petstore, he started looking at them and he and Nibs just had a great connection. It was almost like they'd met before and were reunited. So I caved and let him get her. At first she scared the crap out of me, cause I have fears of things that can peck out my eyes. But as time passed, I learned how to talk to her, how to pet her and other fun stuff. She still prefers Jase, but at least she'll let me pet her. But I'm still working on some things, so I'm sure she and I will get better.


Well I think that's all for now. I'll post as things happen or as I find some fun quizzy things to do. :)
