We all have to start somewhere...

My name is Julie.
I am a graduate student, class of 2010 - yes, I'm graduating!
And now that my career is about to begin,
I am ready to start a real blog.

I have always loved to shop.
And this blog will certainly have a lot of shopping entries.
I love Lululemon. I love, love, love Anthropologie.
My dear Sven indulges me - we even have Anthro dishes!

I met Sven on my first day of graduate school.
I thought he was total bum - he had a rucksack backpack!
He thought I was a typical Asian girl - actually, a Mashimaro.
We've been through a lot together, and I can't imagine life without him.

I recently started a new hobby - running and marathon training.
Actually, Sven was challenged by his Green Day friend.
And in turn, Sven challenged me. To run a 10K.
That is what started our goal for a healthier lifestyle.

So hopefully, this blog will serve to chronicle my life changes.
And to serve as an inspiration to everyone to make healthier life decisions.
While at the same time, share a few laughs and ridiculous stories.
Oh, by the way, Sven is not his real name.
