Here We Go! . . . . . . ???

Well, I've done it. I'm entering the blogging world. This was a rather large step for me, as I'm an incredibly private person. Having just recently deleted my Facebook account because I felt my business was no one else's business, I wasn't so sure that blogging was right for me--despite my interest. Ultimately, as is obvious, I decided that I would go for it. I suppose I rationalized it by telling myself that hardly anyone would find this thing, and I would not be announcing it to the world through a "home page" with a "news feed". I actually created my account, designed my background, and thought of a title (which I'll get to in a little bit) about a week and a half ago. Only now have I mustered up the courage to make the first post. I finally felt like the time was right. So, here I am!
First, I want to tell you a little about who I am, what I'm blogging about, and how I plan for my blog to go.
My name is Katie Bishop and I am a 22 year old with many titles.
*First title: Christian. I define myself by this first and foremost because it truly dictates everything else in my life. I am a member of the local Church of Christ and consider myself very strong in my faith. I absolutely could not survive without my Lord and Savior to talk to, worship, praise, lean on, and thank for everything. In my posts, you will probably see me reference my faith in various ways; although I would never try to be obnoxious about this part of my life. Sometimes I think that is the worst thing a Christian can do, as it turns off so many potential Christians.
*Second title: Woman. This is probably obvious, but I feel it necessary to mention. I definitely consider myself a womanly woman. I love shopping, baking, cooking and (yes, I will admit) cleaning. I really take pride in womanly duties and thoroughly enjoy things that most women hate. I feel that God gave us a special role to play in our world and I believe it important to uphold that to the best of my ability.
*Third Title: Newlywed. I must say, I'm very proud of this title! I was recently married on June 25, 2010 in a small ceremony followed by an intimate reception. It was different than anything I had planned (maybe I'll blog about that later...), but it was perfect and beautiful and I loved it. We honeymooned in Jamaica (which was awful) and now reside in our hometown. It's been absolutely amazing thus far and I can't wait to see what else God has in store for my husband and I!
*Fourth Title: Teacher. This is also I new title that I am very proud of. I have my Bachelor's degree in Education and was just recently hired with the public school district to teach 3rd grade at a local Elementary School. I can not wait to get started and see what excitement this school year will bring! I must also mention that my husband is also a recently hired 3rd grade teacher at another local Elementary School. We both start in August and are completely stoked to begin this adventure together! What a blessing these jobs were to us!
*Fifth Title: Daughter. I realize this is probably a common and cheesy title, but it's necessary. My mother is my best friend and a huge part of my every day life. I constantly strive to be the best daughter possible and will probably blog about our relationship often.

So those are my titles! Last but not least, I just want to explain a little bit about the title of this blog and the intentions that I have for it.
"December Before June" comes from a quote from the beloved Dr. Seuss:

"How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?"

It references how quickly time passes by and effectively sums up exactly why I am "blogging". Time FLIES. I have realized this ever so much recently. I can't believe I'm 22 and married and starting a "big girl" job! When did this happen??? I don't want the time to get away from me as I feel like it has up to now.
I'm hoping that if I use the blog to take the time to sit and reflect, remember, and write about my life and my experiences, maybe it won't seem like it's getting away from me so badly.
***I hope***
