Meet the Cast Monday #23: My....Blog?

Today I'm introducing....my blog! I know this sounds crazy since most of you are followers, but there is a great link up going on and I wanted to participate.

If you are new, this will be a great way for you to catch up on what's been going on for the last year and a half around here! If you have been aroud a while, maybe you'll catch a post that you missed, or get to re-read an old favorite!

Oh, and if you haven't done so yet, I'd love for you to introduce yourself by commenting below--even if you don't have a google account, you can comment by selecting "Anonymous." I'd love to know who all is reading along!

What Do I Blog About?

Anything. Everything. That sums it up. I guess I generally blog about every day life..my thoughts on dating and friendship and faith and attitude. I blog about sports and farming and family events and my bucket list checkmarks. I blog a lot about "The Cast" because by knowing the important people in my life, you'll get to know me better!

Who Am I?

I'm a twenty-something lawyer who grew up on a family farm and ranch in a small town in eastern New Mexico. I went to college and had the time of my life at Oklahoma State University (GO POKES!!). Afterwards, I headed to law school, spent the best summer ever in San Francisco, and ended up at a firm back in my home state. I love my family and friends, college football, livestock shows, running, blogging, and my faith. If you want a quick recap of the last decade of my life, check out my decade in review blog post! Oh, and I'm single, so if you see Mr. Right, send him my way!
