The beginning

How does one really start a blog? Do I tell you all a little about myself? Do I post something random?

I guess I'll start with a little about myself. I'm Jess, 24 (25 in less than 24 hours!), recent mother of a lovely baby girl named Annelise, and a wife for nearly a year and a half to a wonderful husband named Troy. I live in a small town in SE Wisconsin. In fact, the same small town that I grew up in, which is both comforting and disturbing at the same time.

I don't really know why I started this blog. I don't lead a particularly exciting life, nor do I have any specific interesting topics to blog about. I haven't written in a journal since I was a freshman in college, and even that was fairly short lived. I do enjoy writing, though, and haven't done much of it since college (so much for a B.A. in English, right?), so perhaps I'm filling in something I was missing.
