Jumping back on the bandwagon >>------>

So here I am again. Deciding to start up a blog. It seems I always felt the need to write things down at tough points in my life, so I made a conscious decision to start writing at one of the most important and happy times of my life so far. This will be a little different for me, writing about everyday things instead of complaints. But I've recently done a lot of self-discovery and have quit wallowing in self-pity all the time. It's about time to be telling everyone about the good things in my life.

As a basic background, I am marrying my absolute match, best friend, and closest partner-in-crime in September. Not to mention he's the man I love very much, and have no doubt that I will for the rest of my life. I cannot wait to become his wife, and am very excited for this change in my life.

I have also recently made a great deal of girl-friends, which is practically unheard of from me. I currently have about 7 or 8 friends (girls ALONE) who I feel very close to, and have a hard time not picturing in my future somehow. I wouldn't trade any of them for ANYTHING and I am so thankful for all of them!

This may, I will have been on my own for an entire year. As crazy as it seems to look back, I can't imagine having it any other way. I live next door to the love of my life, and all of my closest friends. I also live with two of the most amazing girls I have ever met, and used to live with another of my best friends. She is also getting married in August, and having a baby boy named Elijah in May! Though we miss living with her, she stays quite close to all of us, and we never want to get rid of her!

I have a wonderful dog named Abbey and a crazy cat named Cheebs. They keep me entertained most of the time. My old cat B.B. went to my roommate Rebecca, who I know will love her completely after I leave.

I am a giant movie buff, and have recently become even MORE of one because of my lack of horseback riding. Since I temporarily gave up horses, I needed a replacement. I love all kinds of movies, and if I haven't seen a movie(though that is rare!), I will be more than willing to watch it . I also absolutely love photography and everything about Graphic Design. I am a Christian, and actually work as a graphic designer for my church. I couldn't ask for a better job, or better people to work with. I have a heightened appreciation for art, and love everything about it. I am finishing up my junior year of college, and cannot wait to get out into the world! I also love cooking, and have a general knack for making things out of nothing. I love vegetables and fruit, and could probably become a vegetarian if I really wanted to. I lead a generally healthy lifestyle, and absolutely love yoga. I try to stay incredibly open minded, and have a tendency to argue both sides of a point just to present the other option (even if I don't believe it!). I also have a tendency to become frustrated with people who aren't open-minded, and try my best to show them other points of view. I love children and want at least one when Brian and I reach a stable point in our marriage (after he is done with school).


That's basically it to catch everyone up. I'll be writing as things happen. :)
