First Post

If you are reading this you can obviously tell that this is my first post on my blog.  I am little nervous because I have never had a blog before so I am not exactly sure how to start so guess I am going to do a little self introduction.  I live a smallish town called Durango in the southwest corner of Colorado.  It is a beautiful and wonderful place to live but it is very expensive to live hear.  I think the last time something was post in our local paper they said that the median cost of a house here was $450K with low income not being much lower then that.  I have been marries for a little over a year and I have a beautiful 2 year old daughter.  She is so smart and she loves to dance, sing, and read all of her books.  We have 2 dogs that I think she has aged by about 10 years, but she loves them so much!  It's kind of funny but little sad because they are so afraid of her.  I have 2 sisters and a brother.  My brother lives here in Durango also but my sisters live in Wisconsin and Minnesota so I don't get to see them as often as I would like to.  In my spare time, what little I have, I love to go camping, fishing, and spending  a lot of time with my friends and family.  I think that one of the best fish and the best fishing experiences I have ever has was when I caught a 22 lb channel catfish.  I was with my uncle and cousin and we stayed up all night fishing.  We also got a an 18 lb catfish that night.  We had a blast and have been a few more times since then.  To me, that is the best way to spend a nice weekend!  It has been a while since we have been able to go fishing like that, but I look forward to doing it again next summer I hope!
