Long Time No See

Well, hello there good looking! Have we met before? I'm Kerri—and you are?

For the last, oh I don't know, 6 months, I have been living a rather fulfilling life, with plenty keeping me busy at work and in my personal life. For the most part, much of it has been positive—but something has been missing, and I couldn't put my finger on what it was.

Maybe, just maybe, it's because the last time I wrote a blog was July 23...2012. Is that right? Are they sure? Surely that's some technological error. Nope. For over 13 months, I haven't written a single word on this blog about my crazy and often times unbelievable life experiences. I guess we figured out what's been missing.

In true Kerri fashion, life has still been a madhouse (as usual), and I missed writing about it. I don't really care if people read it, although I think most find it rather entertaining, something about getting it out there in the forever-land of the internet just makes it much more enjoyable. So often, it makes me smile and laugh to go back and read the things I felt were important long ago.

I also turn 25 in a little over a week tomorrow. When did that happen? I remember turning 21(okay well some of turning 21) and joking about how the next birthday I have to look forward to was 25 when my car insurance drops. Well, apparently I blinked and yesterday, I bought my first homeowner's insurance policy and my agent got all excited to tell me, "Oh hey! Your 25th birthday is almost here...insurance drops!" Shit.

Those 4 years went by fast, and I have no doubt that the next 5 between now and the dirty 30 will go by even faster, but be just as entertaining.

What's changed? Well if you are my friend on any form of social media you know I'm a mom to a four-legged over grown rat named Jax. He's actually an Italian-Doxie that I rescued a year ago and he weighs in at a whopping 7 lbs. He's a "blue", has the worst breath you've ever smelt, and basically has no fur to speak of and he's much more popular than I ever thought about being. I can't take him anywhere without him stealing the show. I'm also rather obsessed with him. He's like a non-furry four-legged child.

At some point a few months ago, I also got talked into buying a house (say what?), thanks Kelly Nelson! Never in my life did I think I'd own a house at 24, but things just kind of fell into place and here I am, with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a mailbox (that E put in for me!), a yard I actually have to mow and toilets that I actually have to fix shall they happen to break.

I say ALL of this to say—we have some catching up to do dear blog and some exciting stories and times ahead of us!
