Hi there! so by the title of this blog you can most likely tell that, yes I am a beginner (a rather excited beginner) I am starting this blog to share my ideas and opinions on things happening in the world. So yes this is my own peanut gallery!

I come from a family of eight so I am used to noise and being crazy busy but once in a while part of my family will pack up our van with suitcases, loads of food and a couple dozen boxes of lucky charms and cinnomen toast crunch to escape, all the noise and hustle bustle of work, a picturesque cottage on a lake. That time is coming up. In fact I will be leaving on Friday!
