an introduction of life then and now

hello lovlies. excuse my lack of posts but i was on my honeymoon! i am a married women now and loving it. when thinking about what topic to publish next for this blog i thought i should do an introductory post. since i am changing my name - what a process by the way - i will reintroduce myself and the purpose for this beautiful blog.

i am sushi-loving, soft spoken lover of pink. i was born in milwaukee, wisconsin, but moved to indiana when i was 2 and have been raised here ever since. i moved a lot growing up, mostly around Indianapolis. i attended a classical christian school for 7 years and graduated there. after high school i was on a desperate search for my calling in life; i always enjoyed writing so i went to college in Ft. Wayne with a Writing major. i only stayed there 3 semesters because it was stupid expensive. upon my return home i enrolled in a local Bible college and graduated with a degree only two months prior. during this time i reconnected with a friend from high school. (we secretly liked each other all through school but never did anything about it.) we were friends for 3 months, dated for 14 months and engaged for 7 months. it was basically the best two years of my life.

we got married June 18th, the most perfect and beautiful day of my life. i look forward to spending the rest of my life with him. i am also blessed to have family nearby whom i love dearly.

i have had too many jobs to mention here, but right now i work at Macy's as a merchandiser. i enjoy the discounts but not being scheduled to work at the ungodly hour of 4am. my husband, Jordan, works at a restaurant and reads sci-fi in his spare time. when we are not working we like to watch  zombie movies and play rummy - right now i am winning.

what i wish for this blog is to express my love of life through the lens of a newlywed. i have been so blessed, the Lord is good indeed.
