So, it's been a full 13 years since I hit Publish on that very first blog post in high school. It probably had something to do with puppy love, doing an Avril-esque analysis on why'd-you-have-to-go-and-make-things-so-complicated, or how I truly felt my life was being played out through one of Sylvia Plath's poetic stanzas. Oh, the melodramatic inclinations of an angsty teen.
In between, I've had a slew of blogs, some with domain names that shouldn't have seen the light of day, writing about everything from my college days to backpacking all over Europe on a shoestring. From starting work to partying till sundown with my best girls, along with a ton of Champagne Shower digicam snaps with the harshest of flash effects and a side of crazy eyes. From my days in grad school in London to returning home and finding love, from food and travel logs to health and fitness pieces, I wrote and stopped, wrote and stopped, and then wrote and stopped some more.

So I'm not quite sure why I'm trying to do this again? It might be because we've just made our first international move and are living out our dreams of getting out there in this big, big world. It might be because we're so far from family and friends back home and all over the globe, and this is a way of connecting with everyone we love but can't physically see all the time. It might be because we're in the midst of setting up our first real home together since getting married almost two years ago and it would be so nice to have something to remember it by. It might be because I'm easing into a whole new lifestyle that we get to call the shots on. It might be because I'm itching to write again and the caption section on Instagram just ain't cutting it. It might be because the husband's gone to bed early on a Saturday night as he's feeling fluish and his wife's sitting on the couch bored from watching FBI Files.
So hello there, here I am, picking up the virtual pen and once again, hitting Publish.
