Hi! Welcome to my Simply Complicated blog. This is my personal diary where I write about my life, the happenings around it, and the people in it . I live 10 minutes outside of Washington D.C. with my brand new wife and chihuahua Kujo. Sometimes I write about love, food and places I wish I lived but I don’t. I have a psycho obsession with cheese, chipotle and coffee and it’s not getting any better. I’ll end this now because you’ll judge me anyway. :)

Whistles & bristles,

PROJECT 101

Welcome to my 30 before thirty list. If you’ve been around here long enough you’ll know that I started out with a 101 list.  I changed that list to 30 before thirty list because 1001 days just isn’t ample time to complete the things I want to do, especially with this economy.  This list is subject to change. If you’re interested in sponsoring one of my goals, please email me. The items in bold have been completed.
