Boilermakers vs. Crimson Tide

This weekend, last night actually, I had the rare chance of watching the Purdue Boilermakers play the Alabama Crimson Tide. I figured out I have not seen Purdue play in person for 16 years now...

One of my earliest memories is going to the Purdue basketball (and football) games and falling asleep on top of my parents' coats.

With that said, I have an amazing boyfriend who went and bought him and I tickets to go to the game (one of my birthday presents). It was absolutely amazing, at one point in the game I was shaking and could not stop. This morning, I woke up with sore hands (from cheering) and a really bad sore throat (from encouraging the Boilers to "Boiler Up", "Defense", among many).

I do have a respect for Alabama basketball (especially since they were up by 16 points at one point) and will continue to cheer for them (when they are not playing Purdue or any other Big 10 team).

At the end of the game, Purdue acted like the number 5 team they are and came back and remain undefeated.

Resolutions, Rough Draft

It is coming to that time of year when people make New Year's Resolutions. I have always thought this tradition has been somewhat silly until now. I have recently come to the realization that there are certain things I would like to change and to do better. What better way than to do so by blogging.The reasons for doing so are to make myself more accountable (which I admit is a little scary) and hopefully to gain support from all of you.

Here we go...

1. To get into shape physically. I have specific goals and I am determined this is going to be the year this happens both for my own health and sanity.

2. To learn more about financial matters, investments, to save more, etc.

3. I love plays, art, the symphony,museums, musicals, etc. I am determined that once a month I am going to do something cultural and in doing so, hopefully learning something new.

4. To walk more with God and to learn what it is to be in a true and good relationship with Him. Every day God shows me something new and I am truly blessed to be where I am.

I am sure I will have more resolutions and as the month moves on but this is my starting point and I will provide updates as to the progress I make.

First Blog

Okay, so after reading friends and family blogs, I have decided to start one of my own. Please wish me the very best as I now begin a new relationship and start a new adventure.
