I would like to apologize that this blog isn't very pretty...yet. I don't want to spend time making this blog fancy until I'm sure its something I'm into.If by some miracle you happen to stumble on this page, you have been warned.
Now on to the basics, the intro, the meat, the summary, or whatever. Does anyone other than myself have the hardest time filling out the "about me" sections? Ghosh I don't know why, but I do. Perhaps it's because I have a lot to say but only a small space to do it. Or maybe it's because I'm extremely random and ADD, if you read this believe me you will understand.
Anyways back to the point. I'm 26 years old and I live in the great state of Texas. It's hot and dry and we have like 2 seasons, but it's home. I've lived in San Antonio, Texas all my life. I am happily married (since 3/22/08). Yes, I was only 21 when we got married and "NO", it wasn't a shot gun wedding just to young-ins in love. When you know, you know. Right?
I work full time as an insurance agent, yes I know, I know DREAM JOB! Jk But for real I"m blessed it pays the bills and I like the flexibility and lack of micromanaging.
Our family is small, just the two of us (so no little ones) for now. My husband's name is Jim and he's the best! I'm so lucky he loves me for me and puts up with me when I'm being a "toot". My life isn't extravagant. We are simple and easy like Sunday morning. I struggle just like anyone else. My husband and I don't have LOTS of money or the perfect marriage but we make it work are in love and committed to doing everything we can to make each day better than the one before. We try and learn from our mistakes.
My goal is to be as true and transparent as possible which has been somewhat of a challenge for me. Not because I'm "fake" but because it's just easier to smile through hard times rather than burden someone with my problems. But I realize in this "social media" era we live in people spend more time trying to make their life look perfect and beautifully packaged then actually living life and being real. Be real, your struggles will help someone else and your ability to overcome them will inspire others.
So what will I be sharing with you in my blog? Well for the most part my day to day life. Recipes, projects, LOTS of pictures (WARNING SELFIE ALERT), decor, and a little (A LOT) about my life, and struggle with my weight.
I promise my 2nd post will be more interesting I just had to get the first one over with.
RULES:
1) Please, please, please keep negative comments (if you have them) to yourself. If you don't like the blog no one is forcing you to read it.
2) No rude or hateful comments. I will not tolerate people that are rude or hurtful to me.
3) No drama please. I don't have time for that and I"m not in high school. Save it for your mama.
4)Be respectful everyone is entitled to their own opinion but please be respectful when stating it.
That's all. :)
XOXO

This is my husband Jimmie and I yesterday on our way to church.
Just me: (I warned you about selfie's)
It's nice to see a local blogger! I've only had ugly comments once and had the blogger who left that comment READ what my post said, the comment wouldn't have been necessary at all!

Thank you. I am trying to figure this out. I set some of this account up like 2 years ago including the colors. I'm still trying to figure out how to change it because it's hard to read. Thanks for stopping by and being my first comment. :)
