Day 1: Introduction

Day 1: Introduction.

My name is Venyce and I feel like I am just as unique as my name. I am 22 years young and I've been a type-1 diabetic since the age of 9, which has had a huge impact on my life. I've met some of my favorite people at a diabetes camp I went to the summer after I was diagnosed (1999) and still go to on occasion to volunteer. I graduated from Westminster College in May 2011 with my B.S. in psychology and I currently work for the state at a job that I absolutely love. People most often comment on my eyes, my humor, and my insulin pump. The love of my life is a female- a pug, named Barkley and I never knew that a dog could make me as happy as she does. I love driving, music, movies, friends, and jokes. I have the most amazing family who has supported me and encouraged me in every endeavor of my life. I love spelling and it drives me nuts when people are absolutely illiterate, especially when it's because they're lazy. I'm a hopeless romantic and most Taylor Swift songs describe some point in the last year of my life. I am single, and although sometimes I treasure that, I often find myself lonely. I love to travel. I am, in fact, writing this blog from a condominium in South Carolina, although I live in Utah. I'm just me, and not enough words I can type will tell you who I am or what I'm about so read my blog and get your own feel for me.
