basics

i'm creating this blog because life right now is pretty dang awesome and i want to record this epoch of my life to look back on it and smile. at no other time in my life will have the freedom, the opportunities and the fun that i'm having now. not that life in the future will be bad, just different.

so here's a little background:
1) i will always admit to being born and raised a jersey girl. love the beach and the east coast attitude.
2) went to college in Ann Arbor, MI (GO BLUE!!) developed a love of college football and the nba to go along with my love of the nfl and mlb. loved my 4 years there.
3) decided i wasn't done with learning and moved to AZ to get my PhD at ASU in Neuroscience. i'm a total science geek and have been kicking some major ass in my field.
4) through a winding path of coincidences, i wound up getting a job as a beer vendor. aka, getting paid to go to all the valley sporting events and getting a weeks worth of exercise every night... best job ever.
5) conundrum: science and beer vending won't always be so easily meshed into my life. i don't know any of my professors who have such an 'interesting' side job... something is going to have to give... bummer.
6) but for now, let's just ignore that and have some fun.
7) welcome to my diverse, lovable world.
