29 - The Beginning

Language. Communication. The art of relating to one another through the spoken and written word.  I love language and the study of languages.  Anyone who has met me knows I love to communicate. And therefore, I thought it quite appropriate to use the words of the wonderful Virginia Woolf for the title of my blog.  So here it goes.

Goals. Changes. Beginnings.  That's really what this is all about.  I am starting a blog for many reasons, including the start of my Day Zero Project 101 goals in 1001 days.  Today is also my 29th birthday - -the beginning of the end of my 20s, the beginning of a whole new year of possibilities, the start of goals and changes that I hope to accomplish in the coming 1001 days.  I hope to use the blog as an outlet for the ramblings of my mind, but also as a way to stay connected with friends and family through updates.

Two weeks ago, our family moved from Las Vegas to the Dallas area.  It was both an unexpected and quick move.  While we have wanted to move out of Las Vegas, it has been hard on everyone as we basically only had 6 weeks from the time we learned of the move to our actual move date.  AJ's company had decided to close the office in Vegas, and he was offered a position within the company at the Dallas office.  Its still very hard to believe that we live here.  The area is beautiful and it has been nice exploring the surrounding cities.  I hope as time goes on, it begins to feel more and more like home.  I think we are still recovering from the shock of it all.  Easier with time. That is what I keep telling myself.  And its not that I am not enjoying myself here.  Truly, I have had a great time seeing new things.  But its just not all real for me yet.  For now, we are adjusting, settling, and getting to know our new home.

I hope that I can keep up to date with blogging.  I hope I can communicate my inner thoughts all the while keeping loved ones "in the loop."  I plan to use this tool to help myself, but at the same time it serves as a window in our new beginning in a new place.  Welcome to the journey and thanks for joining me!

For now, I think I will end with this beautiful line from my favorite movie, Dead Poets Society:
 "No matter what anybody tells you, words and ideas can change the world"  - John Keating (Robin Williams)
