Cheers!

I came across the Australian word "Woop-woop" one day and thought that it was a perfect, lighthearted description of my current life situation. I literally live in middle of nowhere Michigan. I guess it could be worse if I lived closer to the Tip of the Mitt. More so, I'm at a stage of my life that seems to be in a sort of limbo. Post-college but pre-career. Want to go to graduate school but not ready yet. Back to living with the parents, but ready to move out and experience the world some more. Need to buy a car, but what if I move to the big city? I'm on the edge of so many life changing decisions, yet I feel pretty carefree and relaxed about it all. I enjoy those sorts of challenges though. They make you stronger and reveal a little more about your character each and every time. Virtus Tentamine Gaudet.

So why join in the blogging pop-culture? I began blogging in 2007 when I studied abroad in Oxford so my family and friends back home could keep up to date in detail about all my exciting adventures out there. Now that I don't have college responsibilities taking up my free time, I was reviewing my Oxford posts and noticed how much more I lived my life with an appreciation of my surroundings at that time. There is so much beauty and interesting things in and around our lives, no matter if we're in exotic locations abroad or in a mundane small-town America. It is in the spirit of rejoicing in these unique and memorable moments God gives us daily that I resume sharing these with friends, family and strangers alike. Cheers!
