Here I Am!

Ok, I finally caved and started a blog. Having grown weary of the whole "MySpace" craze, I decided it was time to move on to bigger and better things. I'm not sure if starting a blog falls into bigger and better, but here we go.

I guess it would be appropriate to give you a little taste of what to expect here on my blog. You will notice that the title of my website is called "Life in this small town." I currently live in Middlesex, NJ, but I tell everyone that I live in Dunellen. Mostly because I grew up there, and now I spend most of my time there. Anyway, Middlesex is a relatively small town, but Dunellen is even smaller at only 1 square mile. That being said, I will be writing, musing, ranting, etc. about my life in this small town that we call home. 

So, allow me to tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Aubrey, and I am a 25 year old female who has been married for over 3 years. My husband's name is Evan - he's so dreamy! We live in Middlesex, as I said, and we live with Evan's mom in the upstairs part of the house. It's cozy and we kind of have our own little apartment up here. We have two cats, Josie and Slinky. I will be talking more about them another time. Evan's mom, Barbara, has two dogs, Max and Wilford. They are dumb...'nuff said. Evan and I attend the First Presbyterian Church of Dunellen where we have been members for over 2 years. I am also involved in the handbell choir, the nominating committee, the "Tech Team", the youth program, and the board of Deacons. I also play bass in our praise band from time to time - more on that some other time. If you couldn't tell, I am also a Christian. I am not a Presbyterian, I am not a Baptist, I am not catholic. I am a Christian - a follower of Christ. It's not always easy, but Jesus died for me, the least I can do is read His book and do what he tells me to do. On Mondays, Evan and I go to a weekly bible study started by our friends. We call it Plasma, though to this day, we're still not sure why. 

I work at IEEE - The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers - where I am an Automated Data Management Specialist/Product Analyst. What exactly do I do? Log on to ieee.org and click "Shop." Start clicking around until you see some products that you can buy. I set up and maintain all that information for the products. Well, a lot of it anyway. What does it mean? I don't really know, but it pays the bills. 

I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love to travel. I will include some travel stories at a later date. 

So, that's about it in a nutshell. A very large nutshell, but a nutshell nonetheless. 

Stay tuned, there's lots more fun on the way!!!
