About the Girl

I really wanted to make this short and sweet, but considering one of my biggest downfalls in writing (according to the English professors at UK anyways) is that brevity is NOT one of my strong points. 

I turned 31 last year. I'm in love and engaged to a crazy country boy. I'm happy. I know who I am, which isn't something I could always say with confidence. Still, I feel as though I am searching for something. I'm definitely a restless soul, and am impatient for the things I just know life has in store for me. 

I worked in retail management for over seven years, and am very proud of my accomplishments. But, I grew weary of the hours away from my family... missed birthdays, celebrations, vacations... even on my days off work I felt like I was there. So, I walked away from it all over a year ago, and in the end it was the best decision for my peace of mind. 

I recently relocated to the country, only a couple of hours from my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington is certainly not a massive metropolis, but it is a far cry from the small town livin' I have adopted. Ahh, the things one does for love! I am beginning to really enjoy my new surroundings, and am excited at how new everything feels. 

I have also recently delved into the role of small business owner. It's a computer repair shop located in Jackson, and it's been such a blessing and a challenge. There are no sure bets in this life, and the cards are still out as to whether we will be successful in our endeavors. But, whenever I feel things slipping away, God gives us a little nudge of encouragement and people start walking through the door. 

I've been blogging off and on for years, and while I am often lazy and neglectful of my blog home, I feel very inspired these days. This is my way of connecting to family, friends, and any other kind soul who chooses to wander into my world. 

Welcome!
