The first post.

Here's the 411:  I used to blog a few years ago, but I treated it more like a Tumblr account then anything else.   So I decided to start fresh and I've finally jumped back into the blogging world again with a brand new look! 

I thought this would be a fun way to document my life and let my family around the states keep tabs on my happenings.  

I'll keep this first post simple with some introductions...


This is me with my boyfriend, Andrew.
 We've been dating almost 3 years now and you'll probably see him mentioned quite a bit on here.  
He is the best rock to lean on, friend, joy-giver, and kind hearted guy who I'm lucky enough to have in my life.

My family.
We are a happy family, despite my dad's "barely tolerating us" face.
My mom is the eternal optimistic and I love that about her.
My dad is a quiet guy while my mom is the talker. I think I'm more like my dad and my brother, Brandon, is definitely more like my mom.  He's very outgoing and recently moved back home so we're glad to have him closer to us.

See, he can smile for photos on occasion.
Fun fact: my parents will be celebrating their 44th wedding anniversary this year.
Hope to be that blessed one day.

My Gatsby themed 29th birthday with some of my girlfriends.
Love all these ladies for various reasons... the main one is they keep me sane.

My book soul mates! 
Chelsea, Mary, and myself all went to high school together and reconnected about a year ago about our similar interests in books.  We talk constantly all day. every. day.  


So I hope you enjoy my little blog and my adventures in life.
