And so it begins...

Ok, so here's the deal. I have never even considered blogging. I mean, seriously...who wants to read about my boring life? Well, a couple of days ago, my good friend Stormey (holla!) began her own blog. She encouraged me to get involved and mentioned (verbatim from the text she sent me), "...look at this way, it's just a longer status update!" Due to some extremely unusual weather here in Texas, I have been couped up in my apartment for the past 4 days and figure that there's no time like the present to start this blogging business. So, here goes nothing...

Speaking of the weather, I have had more snow days in the past two years living here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area than I ever did living in West Texas for the first 22 years of my life. The snow is absolutely beautiful but it definitely puts a damper on life. Texans are just not cut out for inches and inches of snow and ice. The weather has permitted me to do the following in the past week:

1.) Completed an entire semester of case studies for my graduate Organizational Behavior course in less than two days. Let me remind you that this semester consisted of 15 case studies. Let's say it all together...LAME.
2.) Clean my (already spotless) apartment.
3.) Cook three meals. (I am an awful cook so this is not a regular occurence for me.)
4.) Caught up on my favorite show...Jersey Shore! "The cabs ah here!" <----Sorry, I had to...

So, my life has not exhibited much any excitement this week. Today is the first day I have been out of the apartment since Monday and I am currently sitting in my 10 hour (yes, 10 hour) real estate graduate course. Really, 10 hours, you are asking...let me explain before you think I am a complete over-achiever. I am currently employed by the 2010 ALCS Champion Texas Rangers and work at a little place called The Ballpark in Arlington, some of you might of heard of it or seen it on tv during the World Series. (I must brag that I have one of the coolest, most amazing jobs ever!) Well, when the baseball season is going on, I work between 60 and 70 hours a week AND go to grad school full-time. Therefore, this class was a great way to knock one of my classes out in a matter of 4 Saturdays, one month (which will be over next weekend!). The next weekend is my birthday and I was not about to have class...not happening. And then the next weekend, I am traveling to Abilene, Texas to attend two of my most amazing friends' wedding...Stormey & Gerad. So, this class was a great idea (especially since I am sitting here writing a blog) and will greatly help me out in the near future.

Anywho, I don't know how interesting this blog will ever be, but I will do my best to keep it updated and interesting. I decided to end with a little picture to show you how cool my job really is...yes, that is one of the best pitchers to ever play the game of baseball, Mr. Nolan Ryan.
