There I go carrying on again.  Did you see what I did there? Clever, huh? Well maybe only I think so but that has never stopped me before.

Ok, I apologize, let’s get to this blog business.  I’m new here in case you couldn’t tell.  Starting a blog has been something I have wanted to do for a while and I finally decided to put on my big girl panties (oh, some people think that is a gross word, sorry?) and go for it.  I have wanted to do this for several reasons. One: for FUN! Two: As a way to express myself crazy self. Three: To keep in touch, reconnect, or just plain connect with people. And along the way I hope to become a better writer, photographer, adventurer, and who knows what else!

I think I am committing one of the cardinal sins of blogging by not having a clear plan or path for my blog before I start but what the heck, let’s do this thing!  It’s this new thing I’m trying, I think it’s referred to as going with the flow.  There will definitely be plenty of posting about teaching, my relationship (sorry, El Jefe [translation: The Boss], p.s. this is the nickname he picked for himself, *insert eyeroll*), friends (Oh, hey ya’ll!), fun times, and fitness (let’s be honest probably gonna be more about the fun times).

If you are wondering where my blog name came from (and you haven’t check out my “About Me” page),  it is a combo of my name (you probably got that all by yourself, go you!) and the common phrase “carry on”.  This a phrase with several different meanings depending on how you use it.  It is also something that I feel is super fitting for my life in all meanings of the phrase.  Like right now I am carrying on and on, as in I’m rambling.  I do that a lot.  Sorry in advance (or sorry, I’m not sorry?). Or I carry on to make it through my battle with depression and anxiety.  Or I am carrying on with the fun times (no, dad, you did not read that, I am perfect and I never make poor choices ;)).

Anywhooo, I hope you will join me as I keep on “keri-ing on”.  And maybe even stick around? Come on you know you want too!
