Hi There =)

Hi! This, as you can see is my first post. My name is Karmen, and this is joy twenty-six. Here's where I'll be chronicling my days up until my twenty-sixth birthday. I just turned twenty-five on January 1st, and I've decided that this is the year I will conquer a few very important goals, and this is where i'll write about them.

Maybe what I'll write will be entertaining, or maybe something you will identify with (and can help!) either way, this will be my spot to just get it all out. I'm a pretty reserved person, and I would love to break out of my shell a bit. I'm looking forward to this being a wonderful, life-changing year. After all, I'm too young to be so serious! Ok, so maybe serious isn't the best word, but I want to learn to relax a bit, enjoy life more, make new and meaningful friends and have a few new experiences =)

So I guess that explains joy twenty-six. For more specific info about me, check out my bio. Now onto the goals. Two big ones are to lose about 25-30 lbs. and get rid of some of our family debt (I have a fabulous husband, Fabian)

Here goes nothing! Stayed tuned =)
