So I have had this blog awhile and I intend to keep it around for awhile longer, so I thought I'd share a little info about yours truly. My intent is to perhaps make this a bit more personal for the reader- so they know about who is writing and maybe some connections will be formed. I create a list of tid-bits about me, some trivial, some profound, that you may read if you so desire:
- · Fall is my favorite season, BY FAR. Can’t get enough pumpkin, sweaters, boots, football, beautiful leaves, cider, you name it J· I am from a very artistic and musically talented family. I love that about them. I myself have played the piano since I was six and miss that I don’t have one in my house now. I love to sing too, mostly that mostly consists of rocking out in my car on road trips ;)· I love football, am married to a football coach, and am a huge Colts fan. I’m also married to a Patriots fan L !· I love craft beer. We have a kegerator. Currently on tap: Bell’s Octoberfest.· I lost up to 35 lbs this last year. I range from 30-35 depending on the week ;)· I am in love with my dog, a wheaten terrier, who is 2.5 years old. I also have a cat, who is very persnickety, and is 3. He’s a shelter cat!· My husband and I have been together 8! Years, married 4 J· I secretly love that I’m the only Boilermaker at my school…and I am surrounded by IU fans every day. I wear my Purdue shirts proudly!· I haven’t had cable for two years…and I don’t miss it!· I have two degrees…Social Studies Ed (minor in Econ and Government) and Elementary Ed. Secret: Purdue was a heck of a lot harder than SMWC ;)· I question the faith I grew up in: I question Christianity and religion as a whole. I have my very simple, childlike faith, but I am very cynical of all the rest.· You know when people get sick of snow in the winter and yearn for spring? Ya, I’m one of those people that’s always hoping for one more snow. I can never get enough!· I am obsessed with New England. As is my husband. We kinda sorta have a dream to uproot there one day. I love the history (American Revolution/colonial times has always been one of my favorite periods in history), we both love the beer, the culture, and of course, he loves the football! We’ll see where life takes us!· I will watch one show on Netflix 24/7 until I finish it. I become slightly obsessed. And then it’s over, and I feel like I’ve lost dear ones in my life forever. Same goes with books too! (Harry Potter, Hunger Games, you name it!)· I used to hate my “redish” hair growing up, but I have grown to love it in the last couple years. I appreciate my uniqueness. Especially since people have told me how much they love my natural color and how jealous they are- it must be pretty, right?· I love my name- my parents did an amazing job! J I wish I could name my own kid that, ha!· I’m on a quest to “amp up my style” this year after gaining sorta kinda a new body. I can wear smaller clothes- so why not attempt to look cuter in them, right? Thanks, pinterest for the ideas ;)· I am obsessed with all things Irish, even though, technically, kinda, I am Scottish. Hey, my Irish ancestors emigrated to Scotland- so whatever! I love Irish beers, music, festivities, and the pub culture. My hubs too!· I’m on a continual quest to find the meaning of life- and it is perpetual and ever changing, of that I’m sure. I’m also sure I never would’ve embarked on this journey had I not lost my brother and my grandpa in the same summer, thus catapulting me into an unforeseen search of the unknown. I am forever grateful for the opportunity both gave me to make the most of my life, to try to become a better version of myself, and to transform and challenge myself in what I call my “soul journey” as I create meaningful relationships and learn from enlightening life lessons that come my way. <3· I tried for four years to get a job out of college. I went back to school and finally got a job just three weeks after graduating the second time. This was also the same year I lost my brother, just 8 months later. I do not think this is coincidence. I think someone up there knew exactly what I needed to get out of bed every day, to give me something to live for, to give new breath to my life. And thank them everyday for it.Hope you've liked getting to know the blogger behind this blog! More "more serious" posts to come soon!
