The first blog...

So I decided to try out this blogging thing...at least for a little while. My life is a little crazy ( and thus decided to blog?!) so I thought this would be a great way for people to kind of "keep up" with me. I should explain where the name of the blog came from...Leah and I were setting out on our porch a verrryyy long time ago in our lovely Bluff apt when Leah decided she wanted to start a blog. We were brainstorming for the perfect name and i mentioned "ding dongs and ho hos!" Well, naturally, leah laughed and said she was looking for something different. So we continued rattling off stuff until she found something she liked...but I always liked the ding dongs and ho hos...so i saved it for my blog!

As of today, I am graduated, almost married, and working. It's a huge change from where I thought my life would be a year ago. However, I'm happy. I wouldn't change anything for the world.
Lately...

In May I graduated from the University of Alabama, roll tide. I have a degree in Finance and a minor in economics. I'm currently employed at Redstone Federal Credit Union. I haven't been there long but I love it already. The people I work with are great and I could have asked for a better place to find my first "big girl" job.

In June I turned 22. The big 2-2. Nothing to look forward to anymore...sad.

In July I mostly goofed off with Britney as we enjoyed the last few days of summer. We did the usual, pedicures, sleeping late, shopping, shopping...shopping? We had fun. I hope her last summer with me was great dispite all the craziness of finding a job, moving home, and planning a wedding.

I guess that would bring us up to date at August! So far, I've just started my job. I've been full time, 8-5 for a week. It's a big adjustment. I'm use to working odd-ball hours babysitting, or at the firm, or going to school. It's new and fun so far. Twenty years later, i may not feel this same way. ha!

Wedding plans are going well. My first shower is this friday night. My bridesmaids are hosting this one and I'm SUPER excited! More to follow soon. Kyle's excited to participate in something with the wedding other than the actual planning (like most boys) so i'm excited to get him involved in some of the showers.

I think that's all for this first post. We just tiled our backsplash in the kitchen so i'll post about that later.
