- Who are you?
I am a married Mother of 4 children and 2 dogs who has lived in Loganville (the Walton county side)since June of 2005. I am also employed full-time. We are originally from South Florida.
- What made you decide to leave Sunny Florida for this ol' place??
Remember the housing market that went BOOM? Well it went boom big time back at home. So big time that we couldn't afford to buy a house there. So, after some careful deliberation, we came up here on good advice from the Hubby's family and looked around in 2004. We liked what we saw and decided to make our move a year later. It's almost like a 'Happily Ever After'...wonderful schools, great community, affordable homes. What more could we have asked for! My family is still in the sunshine so I go home to visit often.
- What gave you the bright idea to start blogging?
I owe the blogging idea to the founder of this blog (Thanks, Snellville Today!) , but Twitter is what got me started. During the winter storm in January 2011 my family and I were stuck at home due to the ice and snow so I got this bright idea to start @livefrom30052 and use that feed to tell my community who was open for business as I had plenty to time to call individual retailers and restaurants to see who was open or closed. As a result, I've found myself in touch with some great local folks.
- Is there anything you hope to gain thru blogging about Loganville?
Yes--a more personal sense of community. That is something we were lacking before we moved here. I am enjoying getting to know my surroundings better and supporting local businesses.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me! I hope to get to know my readers, too!
