I'm so excited to start this blog.

Today is 09/09/09 and I figured that it was a good day to start.

I hope to share with you my happiness in residing in the great state of New Jersey!

It is a beautiful state with many interesting places to see and things to do.

There is a reason why it is called the Garden State - the state has many beautiful rural areas.

Anyway, in future posts I hope to show you why New Jersey is such a diverse and intriguing state!
