We've been robbed. Let's start now...

I've wanted to start a blog for nearly two years now.  I moved to Salt Lake City from Sunny San Diego in August of 2008 and did so much venting that first year!  During the first six months or so, I had a weekly "reason to love SLC" to help me open up to the idea of living in what I thought was going to be a conservative nightmare.  I will share that list on this blog soon. 

Then, I started noticing the funny things my fiancé, Jim would say to me and was urged to start a blog based on these hilarious retorts.  Again, laziness prevailed.  But I plan on sharing that stuff on this blog too.

THEN, I became overwhelmed by the amazing people I've met in the good 'ole SLC and wanted to blog about the constant humbling I feel being surrounded by such wonderful people.  Your getting the pattern here I think...

BUT THEN, I was robbed.  Completely robbed.  They came, they saw, they took: jewelry (ALL OF IT), laptop, purses (all the good ones), Wii games, and even, ahem, relationship enhancers!  And although I was devastated over this...I think the aforementioned wonderful things that have happened to me over the past two years lessened the blow.  Sure a few tears were shed, especially after we noticed that Jim's proposal to me was taken, but we are healthy, happy and our (crappy) guard dog is safe and sound. So I thought, what better time to start that damn blog??

I gotta say, getting robbed did have some perks.  I got out of work for a few days running all over town.  I got gifts from dear friends who helped us replace some of the stolen items.  And my girl Emily gave us a "you've been robbed!" survival kit complete with a book of affirmations and a bottle of wine!

Anyway, I guess what has also gotten in the way of starting this blog is that I wasn't really sure anyone would want to read it...no better way to find out then to jump in, right?
