here & now

I have wanted to do this for a very long time.

I started reading people's blogs about 3 years ago. they fascinated me, mostly because their lives seemed so far away- what brand of toys are safest for children, which recipe is best, what color to paint their bathrooms. I was in the midst of a hectic college life & reading blogs was a nice distraction when I wanted to relax.

then apparently, a year & a half ago I decided to start my own blog. with one post. & I never showed anyone that post because I felt stupid- I'm always inside my own head so much that I think I shouldn't let anyone else in there too. also- I talk ALL the time, so most of my friends & family probably think I tell them every single thing I'm thinking & feeling. surprise- nope! I have so many ideas, dreams, wonders, & questions & I finally want to get them down & share them with the world I've enjoyed for 3 years- online blogs.

July 2012 Lexi with a frog also about to graduate

I am not a wife, or a mommy, or an athlete, or a chef, or a designer. I don't know HTML (anymore) nor do I have sponsors or exciting giveaways.

I am smart, capable, independent & inquisitive, with a passion for people. I can only hope to do something with that passion & that will probably be a huge part of this blog.

so as of now, January 28th, 2014- I am:

Lexi
living in a beautiful old house in Bowling Green
loving life with my cat Chloe (when she's not peeing on things) & my amazing roommate
working as a preschool teacher, something I never dreamed of doing
doing my life with The 5, the people closest to my heart
learning how to live life as a member of my family but not in my family's home
seeking a church family that will truly fit my needs & what I have to give
finding new things to cook as often as possible
& trying to be as fulfilled as possible.


thanks for reading
