The me I am today

  So now that I've wrangled you in and you're giddy with excitement for my next posting allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.
My name is Megan. I'm 27.....even though some days I have do the calculation because I forget how old I am. Does that happen to anyone else? I've come to the conclusion that if it's not a milestone birthday, you (ok, maybe just me) tend to forget which year you're on. Ok....so enough about my ever-increasing age.
  I live in San Antonio, TX. Remember the Alamo! Ok....not really. Well, yes really. I love history. I have visited the Alamo twice in my life, mainly because it's overcrowded with tourists and we never really go downtown. Well, actually I go downtown everyday, as my job is there, but we don't venture down there in our free time. Who is this "we" I speak of??
  Well the other half of "we" is my wonderful husband, Tomas. I will refer to him as "T", mainly because he thinks it makes him sound cool. He is a pretty cool guy. I love him to pieces. We recently celebrated our second anniversary a few months ago. I never imagined life could be so much fun, but when you get to "do life" with your best friend every day, it's pretty awesome!

Our wedding day, July 24, 2010

  The other person in our house, ok side note.....she's really a dog but don't tell her that, is Molly. She is a 3 year old West Highland White Terrier (aka a Westie). You know...the little Cesar dog food mascot....yeah, that's her, only she's cuter. Ok, maybe I'm a little biased. Anyways, we've had her for almost 2 years. She was just a sad, little doggy on Craigslist until I swept in and rescued her. Before Molly came along, T and I always swore we wouldn't become "those dog people." A dog is a dog. Ok, and then Molly appeared and we've been ruined! Our world revolves around this little, white fuzz ball. She is spoiled and oh does she know it! Wait till we have children! Goodness we're in for an adventure.
  When I'm not hanging out with the hubby and the puppy I'm probably at work. I work with the Marketing team for a life insurance company. I love it. The people I work with are awesome, and I truly believe in the importance of life insurance.
  I've only lived in San Antonio for about 3.5 years. I'm originally from a small town in the Texas Hill Country about an hour north of San Antonio, and I continued to live there until I graduated from college. When I say small, I mean small! We just got our first stoplight last year. I say "we" because sometimes I still like to imagine that I live there. I'm a country girl at heart, and even after almost 4 years I still struggle at times with living in the city.......and don't even get me started on traffic. I'll probably never get used to it, but hey, when you spent the first 24 or so years of your life in a town without even a stoplight, it's not really an issue that you had to deal with very frequently.

  When I'm not hanging out with the hubby and puppy, working, or trying to survive San Antonio traffic you'll probably find me working out, cooking up yummy and healthy food, or with my nose stuck in a book. I will, of course, discuss these wonderful activities known as hobbies in much further detail in future postings.
  Now that you probably have a fairly good idea of the person that I am today and the life I lead, I'll give you all the juicy details of my past in my next posting. Oh, the past......we all have one. Of course, mine like many of yours, I'm sure, has the good, the bad and the ugly. I feel like the experience of writing all this out is going to be very freeing for me as I continue on the journey of learning to accept myself. Oh, we'll get to that too. Goodness! Someone get the Kleenex!
