Ok, this is my very first post, I hope I'm doing this right. I've been working on my blog formatting for the past few hours, trying to make it look presentable. I'm so excited to be here, although I don't have any followers yet (not worried...yet). This is a big step for me and I hope to use this format as a networking tool as well as a sort of journal of my life.
As you may have seen, this blog is about the ups and downs of my life in rural Nebraska after being transplanted here (kicking and screaming) in 2003. Of course Andrew (hubby) hated living in my beloved Colorado. I tell you, to this day, every time I tell people that they say, "how could someone hate Colorado"? I know...I agree!!! Now, my intention is not to talk negatively of Nebraska, not at all. What I have found is that there are positives and negatives in every situation and that I have developed a soft spot for this Midwestern state I now call home.
I'll share with you my trials and tribulations and my daily encounters with this Bittersweet Midwest Life.

I was transplanted here in the fall of 1995 and completed highschool in a tiny town in the panhandle near the Wyoming border. It was nearly the same climate as Colorado, being just hours north of Denver. When I first came to Seward for college in 1997, the humidity hit me hard and my body never really adjusted. It still gives me severe headaches every summer. But, from 2000-2007, I lived in 8 different states, kind of exploring the world around me, not knowing exactly where I belonged. I came back here in 2007 and it felt like coming home. I guess I feel more at home here than any of the other places I was living at. =)
ReplyDeleteI, for one, really miss having you in Colorado. You always have such great stories to tell about life (and especially about Nebraska). I remember the times you'd have me laughing in the back of the print shop. I'm looking forward to your future posts!
