A little about...

This girl!

For those of you reading this, chances are you already know all the people in the following pictures and the close relationships that I have. But for anyone who doesn't, and wants to know, here's a little summary of the people who have impacted me oh so greatly.

Yours truly just decided to switch teams to the blonde side recently... not sure how long it'll stick. Hey, it's summer, why not?!

And this is the man that has stolen my heart:

Can you tell by the cheek kissy pictures that he loves me, too? 

He's a keeper... I know ;)

Aaaaand here is my family. I couldn't imagine life without them. Ever.

Christmas 2012

My parents and I on my 21st birthday!

My baby niece, Kenzli! (Brothers daughter) - She really is a doll!

April 2012

Family pictures... Summer of 2011 I believe?

Uncle Joey's wedding!

Mom and sister... shopping as always ;)

&baby Kenzli again, much more recent picture. She's not so little anymore :(

And then there's my best friend. She's amazing and I couldn't imagine not having her in my life. It sucks that we are so far apart, but we manage. (I'll elaborate on this a little bit later)

Right before I moved to Arizona

Pinky promising :)

I firmly believe that who you are as a person is defined by the relationships in your life. These are a couple of my strongest relationships, and I couldn't ask for any better people to fill all of their shoes. Everyday I am reminded of how lucky of an individual I am to have all these great people in my life, and this list doesn't even scratch the surface of people who have impacted my life. I am blessed, truly blessed.

Until next time,

First!

Well hello there!

It has been over a year since I attempted to start this blog and [obviously] didn't keep up with it!

I struggled because I wasn't exactly sure what to write about... or if anyone would care at all. However, here I am now, writing this blog post... I figured, I don't need a reason. I wanted to do it, so here I am. I'm a 21 year old girl, in the process of not only purchasing my first home, but building it brand spanking new. I'm in a great relationship with a man that I am SO happy to call me own, have a better relationship with my family than I ever have (funny how once you grow up, they become your best friends!), and quite frankly I kind of just want to document everything, for myself. One day, I want to be able to look back at these posts and know exactly what I was going through at the time. Kind of like my own personal diary, which the world gets to see! I want my friends and family back home to be able to keep up with my life, without having to use my Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account.

With that being said, here goes nothing!

Until next time,
