I honestly miss blogging or at least getting my feelings and thoughts out, and sharing those thoughts with the world. However, my <a href="http://www.xanga.com/vallerileighann">old blog</a> is just that...old. I am in a completely different place in my life, so it seems somewhat appropriate to start a new blog.<br /><br />Since marrying Jason, life has been nothing but awesome. I could never ask for a better husband and despite the location we live in--I love my life. At times I do miss my family and friends, and I so long for Mississippi sometimes. Yet, somehow life in North Dakota is becoming easier.<br /><br />In the past few months, I have become a fitness instructor and secured a position teaching history for a small community college. I also have somehow managed to get an education counseling position with the Air Force. So life pretty much rocks.<br /><br />So, hopefully this can be an outlet for me to rant, rave or ramble...and maybe I will get brave and actually start showing some of my photographs.<br /><br />I guess I will start with Buster....and then I must go to bed!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bonDEJJyd3A/SKpTiRWOfiI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/fwanmEwOC90/s1600-h/DSC_0287.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bonDEJJyd3A/SKpTiRWOfiI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/fwanmEwOC90/s320/DSC_0287.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236089365008907810" border="0" /></a>This is the new cat in our lives--Buster. Jason surprised me at Christmas with him. He is the sweetest cat ever and makes Paul Anka so jealous!<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bonDEJJyd3A/SKpVl99MW8I/AAAAAAAAAJg/9iHqxA8tov4/s1600-h/DSC_0286.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bonDEJJyd3A/SKpVl99MW8I/AAAAAAAAAJg/9iHqxA8tov4/s320/DSC_0286.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236091627546368962" border="0" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1419067476056580033-7541616196541599121?l=vallerim.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jason, Valleri, &amp; Addienoreply@blogger.com2
