Well hello there! My name is Katie and I’m glad you've
decided to join me in this blogging journey. I had a blog that I started while
I was in college and in a bad relationship (to be used as an outlet), and I
tried to continue it through my adulthood and my new relationship with my
husband…but it didn't work out in my favor. I lost motivation and got caught up
in life.
However, 2014 is a
new year. My husband and I will celebrate our first full year of marriage this
year, I will turn 26, and I have finally found a job that I love. I hope to
accomplish many personal goals this year—including keeping up with this little
blog, losing some of the weight I gained back in the last year, and
concentrating on some private goals that I have set for myself.
I want to make sure to document my life so I can look back
and remember the things that we have accomplished. I am planning to take a
picture to document every day this year. I tried to do this a few years ago,
and I came quite close—I think I may have missed 40 or so days in total. To go
along with the picture, I was also gifted a journal of 365 questions to answer.
I’m hoping to include my pictures and my answers to these questions on the blog
as well!
Before I go any further, I think there are some super
important things you should know….
- I’m a first grade teacher in North Carolina. I’m teaching in the school system that I grew up in, and I think it’s really awesome to be able to give back to the people that gave me my education. I love the school that I teach at (I won’t reveal where it is for privacy sake), and my students. I think that this year I have finally found my niche and the place that I belong!
- I’m an extremely anxious and high strung person. I can be over emotional, stubborn, and irrational. Oops.
- My husband and I got married in September of last year—as of today, we've been married for 95 days! It was the best day of my life, and I hope to recap some of the memories here.
- We are the proud parents to two fluffy four-legged pets. Gatsby is our golden retriever and Scooter is our cat. No real kids yet, although we hope to have our first in the next few years
- A few things that I enjoy:
- Reading, occasionally working out, college basketball, wine, the color pink, Kate Spade, anything chevron, college and NFL football, sparkles, The Walking Dead, coffee, champagne, Miley Cyrus, and generally anything that is uplifting.
- A few things that I do NOT enjoy:
- A dirty house, wrinkled covers, folding and putting away laundry, being cold, close-minded people, ranch dressing, the NBA, Twilight, traffic
Please stick around for a while and I promise to share my
life with you. I can’t promise that it will be extremely entertaining, funny,
or witty, but I can promise that it will be mine.
For now, I will leave you with my picture of the day and the answer from my
Q&A journal.
January 1: What is Your Mission?
To be
the best “me” I can be. To concentrate on my health and well-being this year.

Breakfast with our favorite teenagers!
