I've tried a few times to blog. I've had one for my adventures in running. But sadly...i lost interest after a few runs and stopped running altogether. I've had a couple others over the years as well, all soon to be tossed aside to the point i can't even remember what email they were attached to! It's not that i don't have anything interesting to post, (which from what i hear, i am quite fascinating) but it's more...does anyone really care? I mean, who are those people who have the blogs that are making TONS of money? What the hell do they write about anyway? But the other day while looking for ideas on cute hair styles for growing out my very short hair style, i came across a blog that i just love! She does crafts, she posts about her life, her house, her son and anything else that she wants to. It got me to thinking...I have a lot going on in my own life. Why not write about it? Better yet...why not blog about it? So here i am.
But the real question is...where oh where do i even start?! I mean, ok...I'm not as young as i used to be. I'm in my early 30's. Still wrinkle free for the moment! But i have some life experience behind me. But i guess I'll start in the moment and work from there. Perhaps I'll fill in some blanks as i go and y'all can catch up.
So a little background of me...I'm originally from Oregon. I moved to NC almost 3 years ago. In fact, my anniversary is in 4 days! Wow!! Where has the time gone? Oh, right...anyway...so there's that. I moved across country to a place I'd never been. Didn't have a job. I knew no one. I drove across country alone, talking to my avocado plant Pete and Lola (she has since died...RIP) along the way. Once here, i did get a job but was laid off last summer and i decided to go back to school. Which right now...is a major thorn in my side. But I'm pushing on one day at a time. I also do look at the opportunity and MASSIVE WORK that it took to get back into school, as a blessing. So please don't get me wrong. I do appreciate being back in school. It's just been very difficult with the class load that i have this semester. And the semesters to follow won't get much easier. But ya know what they say...anything worth having is worth working for. Isn't that what is said? Hmm...
The other really great thing i have in my life...the love of an amazing man!! Hence the name of my blog. Love Happens. I had just about given up and decided to just be single when i met Brooks this past spring. I had always thought that the people who say "You just 'know' when you meet the one" were full of total crap! However, i am now one of those people!! This i know. I knew at the end of our first phone conversation he was the one. I can't even put into words how happy I've been since meeting him and how my life has changed by having him in it!! It's a fantastic feeling!
So...there you have it. Really simple beautiful things that are going on in my life. A little bit of where I've come from and where i hope to go.
