Something like a 20 something

Hi! Obviously, I personally am new to this whole blog thing. You should really hear my shocked remarks about adding gadgets and templates... one day I'll be a pro like the rest of you, just wait... :)!

So, I decided to start the blog by introducing myself and my friend's and why we're even deciding to write a blog in the first place. I'll begin with the basics: We're all in our early 20's; madly in love with our God; met in college; sick of unrealistic expectations, and, not-so-unfortunately, single (the necessity of mentioning that will be a little more clear later). Anyhow, I'm writing this blog with two other friends of mine (As I said previously), of whom I shall now introduce:

SUZY: She's the nurse. She's wanted to be a nurse ever since she was a little girl, and she knows basically everything there could ever be known about the health care industry. She also enjoys trivia and iced tea and children (I suppose someone has to, right?? lol jk). This then leads into:

ERIN: She's the teacher - she works with kids who have autism and she actually gets the really fun stories (like giggling when kids say sleeping blooty!). She loves working out, and honestly, I feel as though she's always playing some sport or wearing tennis shoes about to go play some sport... long story short, I wish I was like that. Then there's:

KRISTIN: That's me! I'm the accountant - I work with numbers and details and organization all. day. long. Long story short, it's not my dream, but I'm working on my master's to better define whatever life-changing dream may come my way... in other words, I'm a work in progress. I wish I were sporty - instead, I enjoy refinishing furniture and baking and throwing parties for everyone but me... it's just not as much fun when it's for yourself!

Anyway, now that you know us, you have to know why we're here, why now, and why us. We're here because there's so much pressure, in the Christian world, to actually believe that you're life doesn't start until the discovery of Mr. or Mrs. Right. Well, we disagree. Therefore, we are starting a quest of adventures!! We're going to try to live life; love who we are; and fall more in love with our God! So, we are going to chronicle who we meet and what we do. We're going to share our ridiculous stories and quotes! Carpe diem, right!? 

Why now? Well, our life is short. We only have this time once, and goodness knows I'm not going to waste it by twiddling my thumbs at home waiting for the next thing to come knocking at the door. I mean, if it's meant to be, I suppose it could happen - but most likely not... lol. I refuse to invest in cats!! Why us?? Well, to be frank, we're utterly ridiculous. We have dreams, and we have convictions, but most importantly life is short and why watch it pass you by? 

So, that's us! We can't wait to know everyone that may come by, and we can't wait to see who we meet or where life takes us!! :)
