Introduction: The First Post

Lately I've been feeling a bit impressed that I should start writing my story down. Whether other people view it or not isn't a great concern. But it's just something I felt like I should do, more for myself, family, and if others find it interesting to them, well that's grand! :) Maybe that's why I started a Twitter today too....though I'm not quite sure that will pan out...

So I guess this could be an introduction of myself, a bit of my past. But nothing too personal yet, I hardly even know you! We'll see where this relationship goes...

Well I'm just an average little lady I guess, nothing too special.

I'm in my last semester of college and going to be graduating this July with a Bachelor's degree in Art! ('Bout freakn time).

I'm an artist. I think I'm still trying to settle into who I am artistically. But I have a pretty good idea. I mostly like to do oil portraits, murals, and spray paintings.

I married my wonderful husband Ryan, on August 9th 2013. In the LDS temple of the great city San Diego!
Yeah, I'm a Mormon. It works out pretty well.

I waited for Ryan while he was on a mission in Tokyo Japan! People say long distance relationships suck, try waiting for a missionary. It's like an LDR but on steroids, cause you can't ever talk to them and can only email/write letters once a week. But once that 2-year waited phone call comes through, you've never experienced anything more gratifying.

I wonder if that's what getting a college degree will be like...I've heard it's sorta awesome.

I was, I suppose, somewhat involved in an emotionally abusive relationship before I married my husband. But that's one thing I won't grant details on because I'm trying to keep this at a family leveled blog. Though warning, I tend to have a bit of a blunt mouth on me and have all sorts of creative ways of substituting "things" for actual swear words.
But I just like bringing that up because I enjoy helping people who may need it, or just someone who understands.
I mean lets face it, boys can kind of suck some times...ok a lot of times. But the ones who care tend to make it up to you :)

I live in Rexburg, "The Iceburg," of America. It's where BYU-Idaho is ('case you's was wonder'n).
It sucks. We hate it here. But it has it's moments.
We plan on book'n it the heck outa here the moment Hubs (Ryan) graduates in Mechanical Engineering. Which maaaayyyyyy be another few years.

Maybe I should've named this blog, the Rantings of a Lunatic (but alas the name was already taken).

I guess I'm also kind of a misfit Mormon. Or at least that's how I feel. I'm not like your average Mormon girl who craves baby attention or wants to hold one the moment I lay eyes on one. I'm more afraid of holding it and making it scream and having no clue what to do after words.
I sometimes think children are annoying and would rather spend time alone than babysitting.
I've never known how to sew (except patch work) or cook very well, and am not too elegantly poised.

I'd rather go wrestle and shoot guns with the boys, or make a mess in the dirt, than learn how to decorate a cake.
I'm a black belt in mixed martial arts and miss the fighting and weapons.

Though all these things I am currently becoming educated in! You see, in your latter years of college you start building up credits in your major and required general courses. But you still need a specific total of credits (in my case it's 120). But I've already taken most of my major classes and all the required generals. SO. I basically get to take whatever the heck I want till I build up to 120 credits. So I decided to enlighten myself on said subjects.
I took a baking class last semester (where I learned how to bake AND decorate cakes), I am now taking a sewing class, and a flower arranging class. As my family have said, I am becoming quite the domesticated diva. ;)
So prepare for me to be pathetically excited about sewing pillow cases and keeping flowers alive (pictures to come.)

I guess to summarize, I like adventure and excitement. But will also veg out on netflix and brownies on my days off.
I like pretty things, but I also like rough things. I'm pro gun. Still unsure of who I am politically (don't care). Dislike Obama, but love that Birth Control is free.
I am blunt, I am honest, I am naive and I am learning,

And if you don't like any of those things, there's this little x button in the top right corner.

I'm also tired of writing about myself now so bye.
