"It's always best to start at the beginning......"

"......And all you have to do is follow the Yellow Brick Road."  A line from my favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz.  Dorothy was on her way to see the Wizard so he could help her return to Kansas.  Glinda started her on the Yellow Brick Road.

Not all of us are as lucky as Dorothy and destined to start our path on the Yellow Brick Road.  Most of our lives are more like the Yellow Brick Roads from the Wizard of Oz and the Return to Oz pieced together.  In one section it is smooth, bright yellow and shiny, a few steps later it is full of holes, the yellow has worn and the path is dark.

I am currently 27 years old.  I will turn 28 in January.  This age seems so young, yet so old.  I say that because there is still things in my life I haven't had the chance to experience yet other things I have.  As of August 20, 2010 I will be a single woman and mother.  My daughter is 2 and a half years old and we are currently undergoing the "Terrible Two's."  She is really my world and if you are a mother, you can relate. She is vivacious, intelligent, beautiful and as independent as one could be.  She always wants to do things herself.  I love her.  She is really my reason for living.

I work a full time job with a group of people that I wouldn't change for the world!  I love my job and not many people can say that.  I am also grateful for those people I have met through being in this position!  They are awesome and mean the world to me.  I am a Registered Assistant with a private label branch of a national broker/dealer.  It took me a little less than 5 years to obtain my Series 6 and 63 licenses.  It was hard work and there are still more licenses to go, but it is all worth it.

I am also a full time student about 60 hours away from my Bachelors Degree in Business with an emphasis in Finance.  After that, who knows?  I would love to obtain my Masters, but in what I am not sure.  It will either be in Business or Education.  I guess we will see.

For now, that is me in a nutshell.  You will learn more about me over the course of this blog.  I am not an eloquent writer, sometimes my grammar is lacking and I can be a bit emotional.  That is me.  Thanks to my best friend, Hannah, for putting the blogging bug in my ear.
