Hello.

It has taken me entirely too long to set this blog up.

And by too long, I truly mean I've spent hours. First trying to think of a name. Then trying (and failing) to resize the picture I really wanted to use as the background. Then I got turned around as I attempted to locate the "new post" button.

Blogging isn't for the weak.

Without further ado - allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Allison. I am recently married to Kyle. And even more recently, we've traveled to Australia to start a new adventure. I'm mostly kind and friendly, a bit stubborn, sometimes sarcastic, and often insecure. But what woman in their mid-twenties isn't. I love Jesus, reading, eating, working with people, and the Oxford comma (but not necessarily in that order).

I also am nervous about writing and sharing so many personal emotions and experiences with whomever is there. As we've established: blogging isn't for the weak.

Neither is the first year of marriage. Moving to another continent. Trying to do a mental conversion of Fahrenheit to Celsius. Or exploring a new city without a map of any sort.

So, with many prayers, a bit of luck, and some gumption I'll grow stronger by facing these new challenges. I guess this can be a place for me to process it all.
