First Post, eh?

So my best friend Kk is making me start a blog. This will be interesting, no?

So I guess I should start with who I am and why I'm here.

I am a rising junior studying Chemical Engineering at Purdue University. I am originally from Kansas but now I live in Indiana. My best friend is Kk and she's getting married in two weeks and I will be her maid of honor. I have been dating Alex for a year and a half and I love him so much. I am currently 209 lbs and am trying to get down to a svelte 160 lbs (I am 5'9 and 1/2"). I love weddings and wedding planning along with doing chemistry, hard physics problems and being all around nerdy. Kk says I'm a dork and together we are the biggest Harry Potter freaks out there (I can't wait until the movie comes out!). I am a Christian.

When I started my adult life, I had a plan for greatness. My plan was to graduate Purdue, the prestigious engineering school and go into industry making important medicines and plastics and fuel cells and would save the world. And I would be rich and important and skinny. Though God might have other plans for me.

Right now, I am near DC and am working at NIST. This weekend we are going into DC to watch the fireworks for the 4th of July. It will be spectacular! We have to leave REALLY early though to get a spot on the mall to see it. I think we want to go sit on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I have some great pictures from up there. I'll share them sometime.

Well I guess that's all for now. Ttfn!
