My introduction

I decided to make this blog for a few reasons, such as:

1. My husband and I are currently trying to conceive our first child. I would like to keep a record of everything that goes into that, including what medicine we take, when we go to the doctor and have intercourse, and what "symptoms" and feelings I have. I also want to keep track of my emotions better, and have a place to put down ideas for names and bedding.

2. My husband is in the military and I am away from my family and friends. Sometimes, that gets extremely lonely. I think that writing out what I do, think, feel will help me feel less stressed and/or depressed. When he is away, this will be my record of our distance. I wish that I would've thought to do this on his first deployment, but no worries, there are always more.

3. I want to start taking better care of myself. I hope to make myself accountable for what I eat, or if I don't exercise, or whatever. I think that this is very important because it will, supposedly, make it easier to conceive. It will also, hopefully, make me more responsible.

So there you have it. The three main reasons that I made this blog. If anyone reads it, and has a question, feel free to ask away. I appreciate any interest a future reader may have in my little life story.

I suppose I should do a little bit of a background on myself, since I did call this an introduction. I am 27 years old, born in a small town in northern Ohio, raised in the suburbs outside of Cincinnati. My parents are still married, although perhaps they shouldn't. I have two brothers, although I am only in contact with one. They both have one daughter each, and I am extremely close with one of them. As I said, my husband is in the military, so I made the move to North Carolina to be with him. I am currently unemployed, but looking. I worked as a fast food manager for years, which leaves me qualified for almost nothing but more restaurants.

That will do for now.
