Hey Y'all!

Welcome to my blog!

I don't know what I think about blogging. I always thought that it was a way for people to let anyone and everyone know anything and everything you were thinking and doing. I don't know if I will continue blogging or how often I will actually write posts. What I want to accomplish with my new blog is to establish a place to vent/complain and celebrate. I enjoy writing down my feelings and what I've been up to. However, I've never been one to get into journals or diaries. Maybe blogging can become my journal.

Just in case somebody decides to read this blog who doesn't really know me, let me introduce myself in classic grade school fashion...
My name is Abbie and I am 24 years old. I was born in Massachusetts, lived in Barbados for less than a year, lived in Bermuda until I was eight, and then moved to New York (30 minutes from Manhattan). I finished high school in 2003 and went to New Orleans, Louisiana to attend Tulane University. The day I was supposed to return to New Orleans for my Junior year of college in 2005, Hurricane Katrina hit. I chose not to return to Tulane and started looking for a new school. I decided to head west and enrolled at the University of Wyoming in January 2006. Within two weeks of moving to Laramie, I met my wonderful boyfriend, Jim! We have been together for almost four and a half years. In December 2008, I graduated from UW with a BA in History. I now work for the Wyoming Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program.

With all of the different places I've lived I don't always have the same accent depending on what I'm talking about, who I'm talking with, or what I'm doing. Sometimes it's from New York. Sometimes it's British (Bermuda's a British Commonwealth). Sometimes it's Southern. Sometimes it's a mix of everything.

Anything else you want to know about me, just ask...
