Don’t Call It A Come Back

I’m an open book when it comes to blogging. If you ever meet me on the street you’ll struggle to pull any real personal information out unless you ask the right questions. I’ll get pretty superfluous when it comes to things like politics, work or any number of hobbies that I’ve acquired throughout the years, but as for real down and dirty life details I’m a closed book face-to-face.

Now, if you put a keyboard in front of me I pour my heart out to the masses. I guess that’s just my way of making myself available to anyone, anywhere at anytime. Thus, since I haven’t posted much of anything since my triumphant return from Iraq, I decided that it was about time to start recapping my week-to-week life as much as I possibly can. A quick one page update, as long as I’m diligent should sum up my thoughts and feelings about various things in the realms of my professional life and social life. A bit of narcissism never hurt anyone. (I don’t know about you, but I think I’m EXTREMELY interesting…;-))

I’ll try to keep my titles as descriptive as possible to the basic idea within the post to allow people a one stop shop to decide whether that post was worth reading. I know I talk about a lot of stupid stuff sometimes and even in type I can get pretty wordy. But I’ll try my best to keep things as concise as I believe they should be, which means I’m going to say 10 words when 1 is necessary. But atleast I won’t be one of those people who just posts some dumb link and says something pointless regarding it. That’s what Facebook walls are for…

As a start it would be fun to write out a biography about myself. I know most of the readers already know me, but in case a new comer happens by, it’ll be fun to read something about the writer.

I was born in May of 1981 in Saint Louis, MO where I currently reside. I went to high school at Oakville Senior High, in a middle class suburb of Saint Louis. There I met some of the best friends I’ve ever had and continue to spend a lot of time with.

After high school graduation I headed off to the University of Missouri – Columbia where I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science. I didn’t know it at the time but that’s where I would be the girl that I’d ultimately fall in love with (You probably want more information…)

After Mizzou, I started working for a large company back home in Saint Louis. I’ve spent nearly 7 years here now, jumping from one position to another as each became less interesting.

In my time at the company I’ve traveled to Australia, Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Kuwait, Dubai, Afghanistan, Iraq and nearly every state in America. I’ve returned to school to school and received my MBA from Washington University in Saint Louis and most importantly have met a whole new set of wonderful friends.
