Greetings from eastern Kentucky!

Hello all. My name's Shadera. I'm 45 and live near Paintsville, KY. Despite traveling across the world, I always come back to WV and would be way more comfortable trooping in WV than in my current KY. Most of my family lives in the Elkview area, and my fiance (Whom I'll be bringing into the group to join at some point I'm sure) is from Hurricane. A lot of the places you guys troop, I'm already familiar with. I'm an Army veteran, former long haul trucker, and a bunch of other things. I enjoy being a bird nerd, playing WoW, and of course, Star Wars. I've seen every movie including the original in theaters. I only recently discovered the 501st and am hoping to dive right in.
I'm thinking for a first costume, something (relatively) simple, like a tuskan raider, jawa, or tie pilot reservist. That way I can get started trooping while I work on my bigger build. From there, I would love to build something a lot more intricate. Imperial death trooper or Phasma. Would like to eventually have both costumes and then some. My job lends itself well to having long bouts of free time, and I enjoy tedious little details. I have a huge workshop that's ready to be scattered with projects!
I'll be attending the event in Parkersburg tomorrow, and am looking forward to meeting any of you that come.
