First things first

I am a soon to be 30 year old woman, married, with no children yet. My husband, Tony, and I have been married for 6 years now. We had a house built next to my family and moved in last year. I LOVE our home! I work for DFCS as a foster care case manager and find the job a mix between very rewarding and very frustrating. We also have two cats, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, named after the Houses in Harry Potter. We call them Raven and Puff though as their given names are too long ;-)

I have been trying to become a more healthy person for a while now and keep a weight loss journal on disboards.com. I have some really great and loyal friends there who have helped to keep me motivated over the last several years. However, lately my focus has been shifting.

My husband and I have decided to begin trying to have children. For me in many ways it has changed the way I look at everything. I want to be sure that I am eating the healthiest foods and getting exercise so that I can not only have a good pregnancy, but also give the baby all that it needs. I also have been getting more and more drawn into the idea that we must be kinder to our planet. I think that Tony and I are far from the worst offenders to the planet, but we are far from kind. I love the new "Planet Green" channel on TV (I'm totally TV addicted!) and have started to incorporate small changes into our lives.

I wanted to start this blog so that I will have a place to log any and all of my thoughts on whatever subject strikes me on any particular day. I love to travel and we have a trip to Disney planned for the first of September which just happens to also be my birthday! I am sure that I will have a few things to say about that trip. I will mostly talk about the everyday mundane life things: eating, exercise (or lack there of), being greener, trying to get preggers, work, etc.

I hope that you will join me on this not so well rounded life journey!
