Title: Rent - "Seasons of Love"
365 days
That's how many days have past since I started this little blog.
Today is my 1 year blogiversary.
I can not believe this little ol' blog was started 1 year ago with a silly little post. I now look what my blog has turned into and I'm amazed. I started blogging because I was reading so many other blogs like weddingbee and the busybee, I thought I should start one too. I would have never thought my blog would have evolved into what it is now.
I'm so thankful for my blog. It's truly a place I turn to to write anything that is on my mind.
I'm thankful for all the opportunities it has given me.
Like making oodles of friends that cover the span of the USA and even to other countries across the world.
Like jumping on a plane to cross the country and having the change to meet 4 amazing ladies who are beautiful inside and out.
Like when I pour my heart out and receive so many kind and encouraging words.
Like having friends who send me cards for my birthday or presents out of the kindness of their own heart.
Like having daily conversations via text/twitter/emails about everything and nothing.
It amazes me how beautiful, supportive, and accepting the blogging community is on an every day basis and I wish everyone could experience the things I have and make friendships the way I have. So thank each and every one of you for reading my blog and leaving comments and creating friendships.
I love every single flippin' one of you something fierce.
Now enough with the mushy gushy stuff. I've thought about what to do for this big post and many ideas came to mind but being an indecisive person, it was hard to come up with something. So I decided this time around, I want you to tell me about yourself. I've spent an entire year telling you about me, let's change this up a bit!
I found this idea over at Jenna's blog and decided to try it out here! So here is a few questions, feel free to fill them out!
Age?
Location?
Why you started blogging?
How long have you been blogging?
Likes?
Dislikes?
Something quirky about yourself?
Favorite place you've ever traveled and why?
Favorite food(s)?
Something you'd like to know about me or see something in my life (This is a chance to ask to see anything. My room? My shoes? My closet? My mom? Jewelry? Things I collect? My past birthday I never blogged about? You name it, I'll answer/do a blog post.)
Anything else you'd like me to know about you?

Age: 21
Location: Pennsylvania
Why you started blogging: I started years ago, gave up, and resumed it when I would be moving overseas for a bit.
How long have you been blogging: regularly since may 2009
Likes: aquariums, driving with the windows down in the summer, the smell of laundry brought in off the line, sitting along the Thames at night, tree branches entirely encased in ice, sitting in the top front seat of double decker buses, people watching.
Dislikes: mushrooms in any form, coffee, leather couches, the new york city subway, squirrels, styrofoam.
Something quirky about yourself: Ever seen what I can best call a "floaty pen"? Tourist shops have 'em, they're pens with a little scene in the top half, and something in it moves up and down, like a bus or person. They're all made in Denmark. I collect them.
Favorite place you've ever traveled and why: the highlands in northern Scotland. It's a beauty unlike any I've ever seen; mountains with waterfalls springing out of them all over the place, a spot on the isle of skye where it sounds like the world is singing.
Favorite food(s): Miniature mincemeat pies, orange juice, spaghetti, my grandma's tzatziki, tiropitas, kraft mac and cheese from a box. (yeah, I'm classy like that.)
Something you'd like to know about me or see something in my life: If you could be any one thing, regardless of requirements or feasibility, what would it be?
Anything else you'd like me to know about you: I am oddly good at packing suitcases beyond the point that seems possible. have a coat and two pairs of jeans to fit into a stuffed suitcase? No problemo. I got it covered.
