iT's ABouT tiMe!

that's right. i finally did it and, with the help of my bff, annalee, started a blog. i'm not new to the blogging world...i have been reading all my friends blogs and stalking others for quite sometime, but the past year of my life has been quite full and has left me with no time to blog myself. but, alas, it is summer and i find myself married, moved, employed (but not yet working) and with a little more time on my hands. so here i am. not sure if anyone will read this or if i will be good, but here it goes.

shall i start with the title of my blog? i'm sure you are curious. is it because i love KFC? no, i actually have had a long standing hate for this fast food chain because of a bad experience on a family vaca many, many years ago. as we were planning the wedding and doing all the fun stationary stuff, clay and i noticed that we had unfortunate initials...

kFc

i'm sorry, no matter what font you use or what color you make it

kFc
kFc
kFc

it still really looks like this

so, we ended up avoiding the monogram altogether or going against tradition and putting his initial first...cFk. however, it became somewhat of a joke and provided a few good laughs.

while talking with some friends one day about our move, they were encouraging me to start a blog so they could keep up with our very exciting life in kansas city. we were brainstorming names and leave it to mr. evan mccord...he thought of "finger lickin' good". of course it was a hit.

so there you have it...the reason for the name of my long awaited and, i'm sure, highly anticipated blog.

Dang it, I had a typo on the last comment and had to remove it. I didn't know you would be able to see my deletion.

Anyways, I saw you added a website on facebook, and I had to check it out. I'm excited to see your life from the world of blogging! Can't wait to read about life in Kansas City!
