Hello, bloggers!

Well, this is it... I am a blogger! My (future) sisters-in-law and mother-in-law have been blogging, and I decided to join 'em. Why not? I am sure there is quite the demand out there to read about my life... Or not. Up to you.

I made the blog because I know how much I enjoy taking a peek into all these other people's lives that I kind of felt like a creeper. So why not let all them creep on me? It's only fair. But really I made the blog to share all of life's excitements.

Anyway, the blog-starting process really helped me answer life's big questions. Favorite books? Apparently I have the reading palette of a 14-year-old girl. The Hunger Games, Harry Potter? Really? (Let's be real, I had to stop myself from listing Twilight.) But you know, whatever. It just help me set a new blog goal: book club. Of one. Just me in the club. For you it means that I'll try to review a book a month. This can get dicey when analyzing how much free time I have, or rather don't have. But for you, I'll do it.

Making the blog also helped me realize I've missed about 5 days of March. Luckily, my apartment has a nice little grace period. But it's sad to miss that much of March. I don't really know why, but March is kind of a turning point for me. It screams, "SPRING!" March means spring break is two weeks away; it means chirping birds and a little less heater. This month, March means overdrive for me. Spring break will be a week of wedding planning and homework. And probably in that order. Let's be real, that's where my excitement begins. And it ends with The Hunger Games movie premiere. Highlight of my month. I'll keep you posted on that excitement.

Well, I'm an amateur at this blogging thing. I'll get better with practice, but I am glad to be started. Now, it's picture time... If I can make that work.

 Meet the newest member of the Houser-Oblinger family.

The German Shorthair, Atticus. Named after my favorite fictional lawyer.

And yes, Atticus is stuffed. It's a sensitive issue that he is working on.

 

My current read. It's taking a while because it's a little scary.
