Hello Everyone... or No one?

So I finally caved and decided to start a blog. So hello everyone... or no one depending on who is reading this. I am still unsure what it will be about primarily, other then the daily/weekly/monthly/whenever I get around to updating happenings in my life. One of the most difficult decisions was what I was going to use as my "title".  I decided on "Life as a Story" primarily because I think life is best understood in that sense. Tyler asked me why I didn't say "Life is a story", and I didn't because I am not trying to make a claim about what life "is" just about what it through what lens it can be best understood. Anyhow it was comforting when I discovered that I can actually change the title if this one ever grows old. That's nice for me too, because who knows I may think of something better later. 

So, I guess to catch everyone up to speed here is a little bit about myself. I am a reformed (Calvinist) Christian. I try to be love others and be like Jesus, although I usually am falling short on that one. I am married to the most amazing man on the planet (Tyler Miller). I have two cats, Calvin and Luther. I graduated ETSU in spring of 08' with a BSW and a minor in Philosophy. My husband is in school at Southern Theological Seminary in Louisville. I work at a preschool with some of the greatest kids ever. I am super thankful for all of my amazing friends both in Ky and Tn and wherever else they are scattered about. I enjoy hiking and yoga. I play just about any sport. I love cooking! I especially love vegetarian cooking and making my own faux meat and meatless dishes. I LOVE to read (I'm sure I'll write more about that later). I am interested in politics and advocating for the rights of the oppressed both here and abroad. Finally, I love laughing and living life to it's fullest.
