About Moi

I am guessing if you are reading this blog you know me in some capacity.  I am a K-State grad (Go Cats!) newly-ish married (A little over one year!), living in a country-ish part of Kansas. (No worries I am within 10 minutes of decent shopping!) I have the most amazing husband. He provides an amazing life for myself and two gorgeous fur babies.  (Ok not so much babies. Each of our dogs weigh well over 60 pounds.) In order to provide us the wonderful life we live he works incredibly hard as the owner of a construction company. Unfortunately his job requires A LOT of travel across the country, so I am left to fend for myself much of the time.

 In a way I am thankful for our circumstance. Distance definitely makes the heart grow fonder.  My husband and I have a love and appreciation for one and other that you just don’t see often and I am thankful for it.  It has also forced me to be independent in ways I never thought possible. I am blessed to have a mother-in-law that has taught me and helped me manage my sometimes husbandless home.  (I landscape, paint, rid the house of skunks, spiders, mice, and all sorts of other critters. Country living! Got to love it! )

I enjoy DIY projects, decorating, party planning, graphic design, photography (ok, so my instagramming may not qualify as photography, but my husband just bought us a big fancy cannon so my skills will soon be improving) & shopping.

 My life is chalk full of wonderful people. My friends are incredible! I have been blessed to have been born into an unbelievably loving family and to have married into one just as wonderful. I am lucky to know Christ and the love that God has for me.  I know I am being guided down a path, though I have no clue where I am going or where/when it ends, I take comfort in knowing who is guiding me.

I have been contemplating blogging for a while now.  1.) I am in desperate need of a project 2.) I feel like parts of my life are comical and some may enjoy my stories.  (Myself included.  My memory is crap so it will be nice to share tales from our "younger years" with my kids some day)   3.)  I have had the most wonderful and awful year of my life.

I also wasn’t sure I should or could share my current experiences.  They are so personal and honestly hard to even talk about, but today I came across a blog by a woman going through similar trials.  It was extremely comforting to hear her story and to know there are more people out there going through a similar struggle.  I promise this blog will not be a giant pity party, but I wanted to document what I was going through, the good, the bad and the ugly.

This year we have  begun the journey of trying to start a family.  Little did I know how difficult this could be. It has been exciting, scary, and heartbreaking (Go ahead and throw in just about every other emotions you can think of.) 

My hope is that some find this blog helpful, inspiring and/or uplifting. (Ok maybe that's aiming a little high.  I would totally settle for providing people with a few giggles and keeping my family up to date on my life happenings which clearly they should all be extremely interested in!)  I really do enjoy the life that I am living and am doing my best to welcome the struggles that accompany it.  God has been good to me and I have faith and hope that his plan is as great as his love for me.

2014 is going to be awesome!
