Hello, Blogging World

Soooo here's to starting new things.  I have been looking at blogs and creepin' through Pinterest for awhile now just waiting for the time to actually put my ideas into action.  With the school semester ending, I now have 3 months to do pretty much everything.  I am super excited (and nervous) about starting a blog, but with the encouragement from my family and friends.. here we go.  I actually said to one of my close friends that "I don't think I'm interesting enough to make a blog" but, she said why not make one though? Do what you want to do! Just for yourself.  So here I am following her advice.  Thanks K.

Like I said in my about me, I am not really one to cook.  Actually I don't cook at all and have survived my first year of college in a community style dorm eating cereal, McAlister's, Panda Express, Panera, and Taco Bell.. SO with that being said, I have decided this summer will be dedicated to learning new healthy recipes and (pretty much) learning how to cook.  Thankfully, I did not gain the dreaded "freshman 15", but I still want to eat healthy and exercise a lot this summer.  Just kind of take the time this summer to focus on myself and hang out with my friends and family. 

In my about me, I did mention something about me liking art and painting.  On my Pinterest, I have been constantly looking at new painting ideas I can try this summer.  I love love to paint (especially watercolor) so hopefully you guys will see that through my upcoming posts! I want to try to do DIY's, recipes, and just events going on in my life. 

So with this being my first blog ever, I thought I would share a little bit more about myself and my life:

 

Here is my dad, sister, sister's husband, my mom, and me. 

My sister: Katey.  She just got married this last year and I loved being her maid-of-honor.  My sister is so full of life.  She always comes to visit me and my parents yelling and screaming at the top of her lungs laughing and coming to hug us all. 
My dad: He is definitely far from your "typical dad" he is such a jokester and always telling me how much he loves me.  I think he is the smartest person in the world. 
My mom: She is the most self-less person I know.  She would do anything for my sister and I.  (She actually has done everything for me and my sister) She's all around just the best. 

This turned more into "meet the fam" but anyways here are the people that have helped made me who I am today.

Next post, I won't get all lovey dovey on you guys.  Thank you for reading!
