So, last year, around this time I decided that since I spend my days crafting WordPress beauty for others, I would begin spending my nights crafting the WP creation that is my own blog. For about a month I argued with myself over design, slowly choosing elements I liked, features I wanted, service I wanted to include, etc. So much easier to work when the client isn’t yourself!

After a month I soft-launched the theme that you see now, with a few exceptions. At the beginning of 2010, the page included a link to a ‘photo of the day’ blog, as well as a Tumblr for what I thought would be a niche between WP and Twitter. Big Mistake! Too much content to was needed to keep the site looking alive! So after about a month, all 3 aspects of the blog were nearly lifeless. I’ll admit, part of it is because I just resented Tumblr for not being like WordPress. What do you mean I have to edit themes ONLINE? I can’t edit files in an editor? Needless to say, I have repented and turned back to what I’ve known all along with work, WordPress is the way.

So now, a new year is starting, and I’m making a new attempt to chronicle what happens in my life.To catch you up to speed, I thought I’d give you a one paragraph synopsis. I call it “2010: a josh odyssey”. Here goes:

I started the year taking 2 winter session classes at LSU so I could graduate before turning 21. In the spring semester I took 21 hours, again, to speed up the graduation process. It was the hardest semester of my life. Long nights, group projects, real work, and balancing it all with running my own company to make a living and pay for school. Graduated in May within 2 weeks of turning 21. Finished with a 3.8 GPA (doesn’t matter) and $0 of debt (matters a lot). A week later I took the girl of my dreams to New Orleans and got down on one knee; she said “yes!” 2 weeks later I started working at Gatorworks in addition to running Ferrara Creative (steady jobs impress chicks and their parents). In June we went to Cape Cod for 2 weeks on vacation. In October we went to New Orleans again, but this time we got married. After the wedding we decided to go to Europe for 2 weeks. That was fun. Then we came back home. Now we live in Prairieville with a happy condo of our own, more kitchen appliances than we know what to do with, and a jolly fish named KatieBob. The End.
