Sucking Less

Inspired by my fellow crafter and wonderful designer, Elyse, and in hopes to improve my writing skills, I'm starting a blog. Out of sheer embarrassment, I have kept my public writing short, sweet, and to facebook (where typos are mostly ignored because you are too focused on stalking an ex and refreshing your news feed from 10 seconds ago).  To overcome my fears, I've told myself almost no one will read this. Those that do, know I'm a goof and hopefully you learn to fill in the missing word I leave out in a sentence. So here it goes...

I'm 23, living in the great city of Grand Rapids. I've graduated college, have a pretty sweet, yet stressful job, and a smoking hot boyfriend. What else in life is there? A heluva lot! I'm currently training to run the Disney Marathon, "the most magical 26.2 miles on Earth". I'm also a freelance Graphic Designer, life group leader for some bomb seventh grade girls, getting a master degree, Pinterest enthusiast, and major crafter. Also in the works...future Etsy seller, world traveler, and reader - of that huge list of must read books. If thats not enough, I'm attempting to blog. Long story short, I'm busy. But, who isn't?

I find it hard to say no to things. Being a small city, Grand Rapids has a pretty interesting list of activities and events. If I'm not already doing something, I'll probably be there. I really love being apart of a community and running things from the back end. I do know the importance of "me time", but if its not spent sleeping, it is probably spent cleaning, reading, designing, etc. This all makes me go a little nuts and I might freak out here and there. Luckily, I've got friends that understand and help calm me down with a brew or two.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to write about. Maybe it will be about my daily accomplishments or silly thoughts. It could end up just being a slue of angry message about always spilling coffee on myself no matter the circumstance.

Either way, I have now become one of a million bloggers, just hoping to suck less at communicating the English language.
