first blog post EVER!

Howdy y'all!  

This is my very first blog post EVER...what?! I'm so so excited to start sharing my life with y'all.  In this blog I hope to let y'all in on various aspects of my life here in Northwest Arkansas.  I just moved to the area last fall from Austin, Texas and so many people have questioned my decision and can't believe that I actually have fun living here!  My plan is to post as often as I can (hopefully daily) about various aspects of what life is like living in NWA in my twenties!

The topics of my posts will vary from day to day depending on what I'm doing, what I think y'all will find interesting, what y'all tell me you want to know, and much more!  I'm hoping to include y'all in various journeys that my life is on...finding who I am in college (woo pig sooie!), getting healthy and fit, defining my relationship with Jesus, continuing in my love for beauty and fashion (what girl doesn't love clothes, make-up and shopping?!), furthering my passion for adventure and the great outdoors, and finding out more about the hidden secrets that make NWA such a hidden treasure!

I won't bore y'all with the nitty gritty details of my life, but here are a few things I think y'all might want to know about me!  I was born and raised in the fabulous city of Houston, Texas.  I lived there for 14 years before my sister and I FINALLY convinced our parents to let us move to the small mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado.  We owned a vacation home there for years and we had always wanted to move there...so after spending an entire summer there when I was a freshman in high school, our parents agreed to make the move.  It was such a joy spending my high school days in the perfect story book town.  After living in a town of about 1500 for a little over three years, I was ready for a change...a BIG change.  I applied, and was accepted, to my dream school, the University of Texas at Austin.  I was so excited for my new adventures as a longhorn!  I spent two years at UT, and it was nothing short of fabulous.  However, when I realized I couldn't pursue my dream degree there, I knew it was time to move on.  So now I find myself here in Fayetteville, Arkansas at the UofA majoring in business economics and I could not love it more!

If y'all want to keep up with me, my passions,  my advise, what I'm doing and what northwest Arkansas has to offer, follow my blog and leave lots of comments!  I want to know what YOU think!  Click the link at the top of the page to receive email updates on when new posts are up!
