to the unknown we go!

good morning.

since this is really my first post, i guess i should start off telling you all a little bit about myself. which, i'll try to make this...short and sweet. but, i may end up rambling on about myself like i always do...ha, like i'm so special. just kidding...okay.

my name is rachel. i've been happily married for almost 2 years. i live in north georgia, and i work. ha, we'll leave it at that. i work. and i have a pretty cool dog, her name is berniece. she'll be around a lot in these posts.

i grew up here in georgia, living in marietta for a few years before my marm and dad set up shop in cumming. i'm squeezed in the middle of two beautiful sisters, whitney...who is 25, married, and a working-woman. then there is chelsea, 19, college student...my partner in crime.

i live in gainesville now, which is about 30 minutes away from where i grew up in cumming. i've lived here for about 2 years now, and cannot wait to get out. this place...just isn't for me.

when i first started thinking about doing a blog, i was doing hair at the time. so, my main focus of the blog was going to be about doing hair, my everyday life at the salon, and the crazy ladies i worked with. well, it got old-very quickly, and my days at the salon were over. i still do it (hair) every now and then, but it's a hard business to get started in...and, as you will find out eventually, i don't have that kind of patience.

so, when the thought of blogging popped back into my head, i decided to ditch the idea of me focusing on just one thing to blog about, and blog about...well, everything.

marm, i know you may be reading this, and i want you to know that its okay for you to tell me that you are. i hope this can be something we can giggle about when dad isn't around (kind of like your silly dance moves), and something we can discuss over morning coffee up in the mountains. and heck, maybe i'll start taking some pictures...and you can critique me. ha, nevermind...

folks, that's all i've got for now. as i leave you, i'd like to say...welcome.

i look forward to getting to know you all.
