Welcome to Atlanta




Where the players play


Four years ago this weekend I moved to Atlanta. I had graduated from UT in May, and had been fortunate to have one more summer break before joining the "real world".


I moved into an apartment with my best friend Crystal and started my journey into true adulthood with a job in advertising at JWT on the Marine Corps.


I had no idea how green I was. Here I am a small town girl from West, TN living in the big city, fighting more people in traffic everyday than lived in my entire COUNTY back home.

It's interesting to look back now and see how much I have grown in the past four years. Here is a brief look of the past four years with the people that have made them amazing:


First Atlanta Weekend o'Fun w/Scott



Jodi, Misty and I at Fado



Halloween @ Stout w/ Crystal & Caryn


Team Djibouti w/Pantlik at Twisted Taco

"Re-release Party" with the girls

Sweetwater Brewery with the Cuz

This pretty much sums it up :)


Can't wait to see where this year takes me.

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense..."

"Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" - Alice


As a long time fan of Alice, (going back 22 years) I would often dream how wonderful it would be to play in her Wonderland. Interesting characters around each corner and acquaintances that spoke only in riddles. Only recently did I realize, that I'm there. I'm in my own Wonderland :) And it is marvelous. There are DEFINITELY interesting characters and new adventures at every turn. 


It's taken me a while to jump on the blog bandwagon, because it always seems so difficult when you are trying to start. I have several failed attempts under my belt, but have decided that this time, I really will post entries :) 


I hope you enjoy, the thoughts may be random, but the stories will be good. Hope you have fun in my wonderland.
