So this is it....

I talked about doing it and now it's time to put my keyboard where my mouth is....welcome to my blog!

I'm new to the world of blogging so bear with me as I navigate this uncharted terrain.  The plan is to use this blog to entertain friends and family with the adventures of Meghan, and occasionally Mark and Bijoux, as we embark on our new life in Pelican Rapids, MN.  You'll come to find that I have a penchant for incorrectly formatted ellipses, smiley faces, and parentheses...I apologize in advance :)

Here's the skinny.  I was a Buyer at Amazon.com for 4 years....I loved it, I hated it, I wanted to slit my wrists, I loved it again, and then I quit.  I like to think I left on a high note :)  Mark and I found a townhouse in Hopkins, we packed a trailer and drove back home to Minnesota.  Then Mark got on a plane and left me to fend for myself...he, he.  The move was a catalyst for a promotion that would move Mark home to Edina after a short while.  For those of you that don't know Edina is right by Hopkins....as most of you know that plan did not quite work out as expected. 

Instead Mark got promoted to the Branch Manager of Moorhead, MN.  Awesome!  Mark got promoted!  Boo, we have to live in Moorhead! (no offense to those from Moorhead!)  So instead of renting some craphole apartment we decided to buy a cabin in Pelican Rapids, MN.  PR, as I will refer to it often, is 3 1/2 hours NW of Minneapolis.  It's not far from Detroit Lakes, MN which is a hopping cabin town so you would think there would be modern conveniences such as cable television and high speed internet...you would be wrong.  The pink balloon on the left is our cabin, the one on the lower right is civilization:

I'm a bit of a city gal so many friends and family members find it high-larious that I will be living in what I would deem the "country".  I have many, many lofty dreams about what this little experiment might yield including: honing my DIY remodeling skills, learning how to garden and planting something that doesn't die, learning to drive a boat, getting my business up and running, getting Bijoux to stop being an asshole, the list goes on and on....

So we'll see how this goes...both the blogging and the country-living situations.

Hang on Bij...we're not in Kansas anymore...
