Finally...

Okay - I finally did it. I started a blog. It only took months of nagging and prodding and begging (okay, so noone actually begged, but you get the point)! Now, I know many of you will make bets to see if I ever come back to this blog, so if a pool gets started - I want in!

Since the only people reading this will be people who know me, I don't feel inclined to write the typical "all about me" lead-in, but I don't really know what else to say at this point, so here goes:

I am Jaclyn or Jackie Johnson, formerly Sessions, and I live in Woods Cross, UT. I am a Project Manager at USANA Health Sciences which may be news to some of you considering I recently switched around a little bit. I was working for a marketing/ad agency for 5 years as a Product Manager, then I went to a company called Basic Research for 8 months. It wasn't exactly what I had planned, so this brought me to USANA which has been great so far! I am married to Greg Johnson, who works for Okland Construction as a Project Manager / Superintendent (depending on the project he is on at the moment!). We will be married 5 years in July (CRAZY!) and we have two beuatiful boys - no, not kids, but dogs! We have a 4yr old Beagle named Chance (aka Chancey Bear, Chancelor) and a 2yr old lab/border collie mix named Odie (aka Ode, Odio). While we planned and searched for Chance; Odie was an accident - but don't tell him that! Greg and I thought we had the willpower to wander through the Super Pet Adoption and just look, but apparently we did not. When I stuck my hand in his cage and he rested his head in my palm - I knew I was done for :).

I LOVE to camp and hike. In fact, Greg and I have spent most of our married life camping and hiking in between work and his school. Greg also loves to mountain bike, but unfortunately I think I have dragged him down in that department since I am not so good at the downhill part of that equation! I also really like to run, although I seem to be a bit cyclical in keeping up with myself - I will keep you all posted on that progress. Greg and I used to have a camp trailer where we had many fantastic memories, but one of the last memories in the trailer was of our accident in Oregon (along the Oregon coast) last summer where it was totaled! Luckily, we finished out our trip, but the trailer did not fare so well. Not to worry though - the search is over - we have now purchased another trailer to replace and I am SO excited to be the proud owner of a trailer again. We are just starting to prepare our list of all the places we are going to go this year - I am SO excited!

Well - that is about it... Considering I have no children and that seems to be a popular post-topic; you will likely hear a lot of random stories about my boys (Greg and the dogs) as well as work and the fun places we will find this summer! I also love to review movies, so stay tuned...

Welcome to my blog!

Yay, you started a blog too! :) I tried to come here before, but my internet access out here is pretty touchy. And I think Odie probably already knows he was an accident. Chance reminds me of one of those mean brothers who constantly tells their little brother that he's adopted... I'm so excited that you got a trailer again. We need to make some plans; although early June is out...

Good luck carrying the team at bowling tonight!
