Why Hello There

So I wanted to start a blog and here I am, on a rainy night when the weather ruined my dish network signal, so what better time to start than now?

Perhaps I should share a little about me...my name is Kerrie and I live in south Georgia for the time being. I'm originally from a small town in Connecticut (Go Huskies!) and moved here about a year ago with my husband who serves in the Navy. He’s currently deployed so I’m here all by lonesome save for a few amazing friends who make the time go by faster. I keep busy by volunteering on a local state senate race and coordinating a fundraiser for the Georgia Speaker of the House. I love politics and government, its a passion of mine as well as the focus of my education. I graduated in 2007 with a B.A. in Poli Sci from UCONN and in May, I earned my Masters of Government with a focus on Law and Public Policy and Political Management. When I'm not working on the campaigns I love to spend time reading. That's about it for me!

So why did I want to start a blog? Well, I need motivation. Since I married my amazing husband, Nathan, I’ve let myself go and I want to change. In college I was able to avoid the freshman fifteen since I didn’t spend my weekends chugging beer but somehow no one told me about the marriage thirty you can gain in the first three years of marriage! Its shameful I know but at least I’ve come to terms with what needs to be done! So here I am, writing this blog as a journal for weight loss, exercise, and dieting aka a food journal. And knowing me, I’ll throw a little in about my day, my thoughts, my plans, and opinions! Who knows what this will become...

Here we go!
