My first post!!!

It's official, I am a blogger...I have decided to create this blog as a way for my family and friends to stay informed about what's going on in my life as I don't get to see or talk to most of you nearly enough...I am not promising that it will be the most exciting blog as my life at this point is pretty mellow, however in the next few years I foresee some very exciting posts about a huge ass ring, a wedding, house hunting/buying, babies etc...I also think its a great place for me to vent my daily frustrations with society!

To get everyone on the same page...

I graduated from the University of Waterloo with a BA in Political Science in 2006 and a few months after that I started working for Manulife Financial in Waterloo...My career progression has not been what I thought my BA in polisci would get me, but its a great company and I am happy with my current position...

In 2004 I met Jason, who is not only the best thing that ever happened to me, but the love of my life (thanks again Stace for the hook-up) and since 2005 we have been proving all relationship theories wrong...long-distance can work (Jason is a born and raised New Yorker) and absence really does make the heart grow fonder (we only see each other once every couple months)!

Jason and I adopted a cat that we named Donte in late 2008...Donte is my daily amusement and often my daily frustration...He is not your average cat...Jason swears he doesn't know he's a cat, but thinks he is human and I am convinced he has feline ADHD with a touch of multiple personality disorder!

I have some pretty amazing friends in K-W (and else where) and you will hear about them in due time, but I have very limited family...My brother Rob, his wife Sandy and their kids Benjamin and Rebecca are the only relatives I have within the 519 area code, so they are a huge part of my life...We do Sunday family dinners that started back when I was a starving student and thankfully we haven't canceled this weekly tradition, so you will see these names frequently!

Now that we are all caught up...tomorrow is Friday, it's dress down day in my office and I don't have to work OT this weekend...big WOOHOO!!! I promise to put in some time on my blog this weekend so it's all sexy for you and if you promise to bear with me while I figure out this whole blogging thing I think we will have a beautiful blogging relationship!

Until next time...
