Welcome!



So I'm definitely not new to the whole blogging thing... I had a widely popular blog back in college that everyone anxiously awaited to read, but I don't like to brag... okay so maybe I had like 5 people who actually read my blog, but still! I felt important.

Now that I'm older and have a big girl job, and spend countless nights in strange small towns, I thought I would try to pick it up again and share funny stories about my adventures or really just whatever comes into my head. I'm reallllllly going to try and stay accountable and blog regularly. So we'll see how well that goes... in the mean time, I should probably introduce myself. And explain the title of my blog.

I'm a twenty-something (closer to thirty than twenty-yikes!) Arkansan who crunches numbers for a living. I'm really involved in my church... some would call me a "crazy Catholic" (ahem Cat!), and I just like to have fun and go with the flow. I'm always up for new things and I keep myself extremely busy doing who knows what. I don't even know. It's cool.

Now... the blog title: "Life with Woodford." I know what you're thinking... "this girl named her blog after delicious whiskey." I do enjoy Woodford Reserve, not going to lie. Although not near as much in 2011 since I've quit drinking Cokes (I know!) However, on September 17th I was blessed with an amazing birthday gift. An 8-week-old Weimaraner, who is named Woodford Reserve. But we keep it casual, he goes by Woodford, or Woody if you're a close friend. At first I kind of spazzed out because I wasn't sure I was ready for such a big step. A puppy? Really? Can I do this? But he has been one of the greatest things that ever happened to me. I won't go into deets, but we have had quite the adventure already and he's only 6 months old! Who knows what the future holds for us. I never thought I would be one of "those" dog people. But I am. And I love it. Woodford goes everywhere with me, he is pretty much always at my side, and I think he's picked up on my easy-going personality because he's usually a very chill dog, which is amazing. Not that we lay on the couch and watch TV for hours on Sunday afternoons or anything. No, not us. We are way more active than that! Yeah, not so much. We totally do that.
So yes, you'll probably hear more about Woodford than you ever wanted to know. But it's my blog, so I can do that.

P.S. The picture you see was taken the day after I got him. Precious! I have many many more to share later.
