Dear Family,

It has recently been brought to my attention that you and your friends have discovered my blog.

While the prospect of my closest loved ones reading my inner most thoughts, desires and fears should probably terrify me, I really couldn't be more elated.

I think the internet is the best thing to happen to us since the '92 Brost Family Reunion.

However - now that the cat's out of the bag - I feel like I have a bit of explaining/updating to do.

First, please don't be alarmed by the name of my blog. It really stems from an inside joke between my best friend and I from band camp and/or a church retreat a few years back.

It certainly has nothing to do with my success as a functioning member of society.

Now that that's cleared up ~ Hello.

How have you been? I hope everything and everyone has been well since I visited home last.

That Christmas party was one for the record books.

And since then, I've never been better.

As most of you know and/or saw, I recently graduated from a prestigious graduate program with a Masters of Science in Mass Communication.

Here is a picture of me you can put in your wallets to show your friends.





Last week all of the recent graduates also attended a two day recruiter session held at my school.

While I haven't received any formal offers yet, I do have a lot of great leads for companies that will pay me enough money to afford Christmas presents for all of you this year and maybe even postage for your thoughtful thank you cards.

However, I plan on staying in town until I find a job that pays well and won't compromise my quality time with you. (I at least want to make sure I'll have the time to call home every Sunday.)

Other than that, things have been great over here in sunny Richmond. I was able to sneak away from my computer for a few hours yesterday to enjoy a SPF45 friendly afternoon at the river with a few of my closest school friends - none of whom brought along a backpack full of beer.

Tomorrow I plan on going to Jamestown. If I'm lucky enough, I may see some historical reenactments and partake in family friendly activities such as making candles out of beeswax.

Again, I hope all is well in Wisconsin and that you continue to check my blog for updates every six to eight months. And please tell Grandma(s) and Grandpa I say hello.

All my love,

Pot
