First Blog EVER

This first blog will be a getting to know me blog.  Really boring if you ask me but I know everyone needs to know the "basics."
Hello, my name is Jessica.  I am from Iowa.  I was born in Ohio and moved to Omaha, NE when I was 18 years old.  After living there for a year I moved to the hometown of my now Fiance (wow it is still weird to call him that) We have been together for almost six years now.  We will be married on 4/2/11. 

I have two cats and a dog.  I will probuly talk about A LOT about them.  I love my animals.  I would be the crazy cat/dog lady if I could.  I hate to see animals on the street.  My oldest cats name is Shotzie.  She will be 5 on 1/29 and Gunner will be 5 on 7/28.  Yes I know when my cats were born.  We got them from the Humane Society in Omaha and those dates were on the sheet when got with the cats.  I think they just made up a date but we will roll with it.  Brutus is my 2 year old English Bulldog.  My boyfriend...Fiance has never had a dog before so getting an English Bulldog has been something new for him.  We learn new things about him everyday.  For one...he hates it when we leave him home alone. Go figure.  He LOVES cardboard.  Everytime we leave him out when we are gone he seems to find some kind of cardboard.  Sometimes I don't even know where he got it from/or what it was to begin with.

I love to cook, watch football (mostly the Steelers), watch Duke basketball, sleep (lets be honestly everyone does but at least I admit it)  I hate to clean.  I love to camp.  I purchased a camper last year for my birthday.  It was the best present I ever got myself...hehehe I also watch a ton of You Tube videos.  I haven't gotten the gutts to start my own channel but hopefully blogging will help me get over my fear.

The reason I want to start blogging is to get my story out there.  I am really no different than everyone else but I am not afraid to be honest (sometimes brudally honest) about life. 

I am trying to get healthy before I get married.  I have started buying organic fruits.  Okay so I went online and bought a box of fruit but it is a start.  When I told Kevin (fiance) how much it costs he flipped out.  $38 for 25 peices of fruit is a litttttleeee high.  I won't be purchasing boxes for fruit anyone but I am going to start really putting an effort into my health.  I am going to try to stop drinking Diet Coke (as I have one at my desk right now) and drink more water.  I want to be a healthy as possible so we get married and start to think about having children I won't have to worry about what I am eating I will already be eatting right.  I figure if I cut out diet coke and drink water (free) and cut coupons I can off set the cost of the organic foods.  I also plan to cloth diaper our children when that time comes.  I tell people that in our small town and they all laugh at me.  I am going to do this if it kills me just because people don't think I can do it.  I know that isn't the best reason but hey if it keeps me going so be it.

Well so that concludes my first ever blog.  I hope it was a little bit interesting and you will stay tuned for my next blog.

Live life to the fullest
Jessica
