I've picked a topic!

I tend to be really bad at writing memoirs. I think they are just to close. I don't like talking about myself. So I think I'm going to use this site to perfect my memoir/story-telling skills.

The one thing I do enjoy writing about are my vacations. I'm not a world traveler, but I was on an airplane before i was 1. I've been to about 37 of the 50 states: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Conneticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusettes, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virgina, West Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

I've lived in 4 of them and will probably make it 5 after college. I've lived in the midwest, the south, the north, and now New England (My least favorite of all) I get restless once I hit about 7 years in a place. I've spent 2 summers living in Canada, as well.

Most people don't realize what a beautiful country we live in. It is so large and diverse. The mountains that butt up against the Atlantic in Maine, the swampy Everglades of Florida, the redwood forests of Washington and the cliffs of San Diego. Not to mention everything in between. All beautiful in their own ways, but totally different from one another.

Maybe next time I'll get into a story...
