Fresh Start

I somehow DELETED my other blog, The Cableknit Chronicles, so I am having to start from complete scratch! Every post I did for 2 years may be completley lost, but I actually am grateful because I get to start fresh. So, I will reintroduce myself!

I am a senior at Indiana University. I'm taking a half victory lap in the fall because I had to try out being a teacher, which I decided wasn't for me. I am a Journalism major hoping to land a PR job soon!

I have a great relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Romans 12:2.

I have a wonderful family. I have four younger siblings (2 brothers, SWB-18 and JKB-8 and 2 sisters, CEB-20 and JLB-10).

I have been dating MDW since August 4, 2005 (see I do know the date!). He is the love of my life and my best friend. He just moved to Dallas, TX TWO days ago and I already miss him terribly but I cannot wait to join him in December!! Follow him on Small Town Hoosier to Big City Cowboy.

I love all things preppy. Monograms are my guilty pleasure.

While I am guilty of being a typical college gal sometimes, I adore manners and etiquette. I love handwriting cards and notes because it is such a long lost art. Emily Post knew all.

I couldn't live without iced coffee, RL cableknit sweaters, The Bible, J.Crew chinos, Jack Rogers, IU basketball, college football, golf, Norts, Lilly Pulitzer, J.Crew, wine, Patagonia pullovers and many other things.

I love country music (WAGON WHEEL, everything else), European Girl music (La Roux, Ellie Goulding, Kate Nash), Jazz, Frank Sinatra and the rest of the Rat Pack, Christian music, Teenage Heartthrobs (Justin Bieber, Jesse Mccartney),  Big Voices (Mariah Carey, Adele, Whitney Houston, Aretha), The Beatles and 80s-90s music.

I am a self proclaimed animal know-it-all. Shark are my specialty (Thanks Discovery).

I enjoy being me and with the help of the Lord, am finally getting comfortable in my own skin.


I look forward to re-getting to know the blogosphere and sharing the end of my college career and the beginning of my adult life with you all! (I figure I'm not allowed to say ya'll yet, not a Texan for a few more months)
