Sooo...I've decided to link up with Jenni for the Blog Every Day in May challenge!

I've been wanting to blog more but always feel at a loss for topics. Jenni was kind enough to give us topics for each day, which I think will help tremendously! Looking through them I can already see where I'm going to struggle have to get creative!

 

So without further adieu, let's get started!!

 

 

I grew up (from birth to age 7) in a small town in Iowa that now has a whopping population of 264. We moved (to a town with a population now of 2,864 ... movin' on up!) after the disastrous flood of 1993. This was hard on me, as it meant I had to change schools [I'm thinking more on this later in the month, probably], but of course, I made friends and still keep in touch with a handful of them today.

 

Fast forward to after high school graduation. I went to the University of Iowa [initially] for pre-pharmacy. *insert thumbs down* Chemistry and I did not agree. I changed to Business and after two years there realized I was wasting money there while not really knowing what direction I wanted to go.

 

After leaving U of I, I moved away from home, got married, bought a house, and got divorced. I say that all in one sentence because that's all it deserves about how quickly it all happened.

 

In 2009 I finally met my soul mate and we eloped to Texas to get married July 1, 2011. On the way back home we drove through a lot of great locations including Graceland. On November 2, 2012 we became parents to Lincoln [6 weeks early]. Lincoln turns 6 months tomorrow [how did that happen?!] and I am 4.5 months pregnant with Baby Beck #2!!
