So I finally mustered up the courage to start my own blog! So I suppose I should tell you a little about me and why I started it!…
It’s really hard to believe that I graduated from college over a year ago! Not to mention, I have lived in a new state for over a year now for the first time in my entire twenty three years of life! This is the main reason I decided to start a blog! I moved to Michigan to start my professional career with a company I truly believe in! I consider my colleagues at work to be my extended family! Without all my great friends that I have met since I moved here, I don’ t know if I would have been able to handle living away from my friends and family back home! So…moving on…I started this blog because I thought what better way for friends and family to keep up with me and my new life in Michigan! This blog will contain photos, polls, advice, opinions, questions about food, questions about work and questions about life! I look forward to your comments and any advice you have for me!
Now, for the name…I want to use this blog to talk about the present stage of my life. Hence the name, Stage Present! My friend Connie helped me come up with this on our road trip back from BlogHer 2009!!

Me skydiving! One of the most amazing expereiences I have ever had!!
I hope you enjoy my blog! I look forward to hearing from you!

BlogHer! I want to go to there….again. Had a fantastic time on our road trip with you. Thanks for putting up with my toxic self (…STILL don’t have full lung function!). I very much look forward to reading your updates on your blog. Partly because I feel a little invested/maternal, having helped you coin it
