Catch up!

Back in July, I packed up all of my belongings, hopped on a plane, and moved to a place I had never stepped foot in, 1,700 miles away from the place I had called home my entire life. No job. No relatives. Only person i knew was my boyfriend. The night I arrived, Ethan took me to the myriad botanical gardens, got down on one knee; and asked me to be his wife. With tears in my eyes, I said yes. We will be married on October 24th of this year, and I couldn't be more excited. A week after I got here, I scored a job at a great 50's style diner a few blocks away from my house. Working there has been a blast, and has been a great opportunity to make some good friends. Ethan and I went on some pretty cool adventures, including our first baseball game, a horse carriage ride through brick town, and the Oklahoma City zoo, to list a few. 3 weeks ago we found the church that we will be attending during our time in Oklahoma, and have made some wonderful friends there as well. The past few months have definitely been a blast, and I'm so grateful to be spending it with my best friend. 

Welcome!

Hello friends and family! Thanks for checking in. I created this blog for several reasons. 

One: how cool is it going to be to look back on these posts in a few years from when Ethan and I were first married? Time capsule full of memories. 

Two: friends and family. Living over 1,000 miles away from anyone I've ever known can be tough sometimes. This blog can be a way of communication; keeping people informed. I'm a talker (as I'm sure people know by now) so if you are interested in what's going on over here, and you can tolerate my frequent rabbit trails, corny jokes, and ramblings then stay tuned! 

Three: my obsession with writing... About everything... A lot... Writing down my thoughts make me feel a little more in control, and a little more organized. Words. Wonderful things aren't they? 

Many more reasons come to mind, but I feel as though the main ones have been said. I'll be posting a 'catch up' here soon, let y'all know what's happened so far :) thanks again for checking in! God bless.
