Oh dang, it's the first already.

Hey there. My name is Andrea (only the most daring call me Andi) and this is my third year of the challenge. Actually, it's my fourth if you count the first year when I found out about the challenge halfway through and just jumped in. I'm not a big fan of "rules", per se. Or air quotes. Or question talkers. Or candle parties.

I'm a wife of a dozen years and mother of two who gave up on the whole job thing in order to go back to school full-time. Thankfully, the man of the house was legally obligated happy to be my financial backer for a while.

I love Star Wars though I'm not a big fan of television. I tend to devour books, often cover to cover in one sitting, and feel anxious if I don't have a few titles laying around in a "to read" pile. I laugh too loud and talk too much. Especially in Mexico. I drink beer from the bottle, avoid "girl's night out", and have a Martha Stewart-ish reputation for reasons unknown.

Photography is something I adore but rarely make time for so I love when the challenge rolls around. If this was a pyramid scam, Jules would be above me and Ashby & the Gator would be my downline. I'm not a Photoshop expert so you won't see a lot of manipulation from me. What you will probably see is a lot of 11:58p posts with my name on them.

Game on.
