Growing Up

Welcome to my very first blog!  I'm beginning a very fun and interesting year of my life, and I think this blog will be a great place to keep track of it all.  Here's a little info about me- my name is Kaitlin. I just turned 25. I'll have my AuD (doctorate in Audiology) in May, and I'm hoping to have a full time job once I graduate. I just bought a digital SLR camera, and still really have no idea what I'm doing with it but it takes such nice pictures! I have an amazing boyfriend who I've been in love with for almost half my life, and we hope to have our first apartment together within the next few months. Hopefully he'll officially become my fiancee within a few months too... ;-)  We have a pretty good story, I'll tell you about him soon. I also have an awesome family who has always been super supportive of me. 

So within the next year or so, there's a lot going on. I hope to be growing up a lot, I'm ready for it- I'm happy with who I am, but definitely ready for some change. Moving out of mom and dad's, starting my own home with the boy, learning photography, joining the workforce, planning a wedding, learning to cook in my own kitchen.. it sounds like a lot, and I don't want to forget a second of it. I've never kept up with a traditional journal, but I really hope to update this blog at least a few times a month to start, and more frequently once I get the hang of it. I'd like to include updates on projects I'm working on, recipes, photographs, etc., as well as basically keeping a journal of what's going on in my life. Even if nobody ever reads it, I know that I'll have this all saved for myself =)

Happy New Year... here's to a great 2011! Here are a few pictures I took on New Year's Day with my new camera, just for fun!
