Here we go.....

After much pushing and shoving from different directions I finally agreed to start a Blog. My initial impressions of Blogging were always married woman, people with children or extremely passionate writers that want to be heard. I am none of these. With much thought of what would or could I Blog about I finally came up with fat, boys and skinny jeans. What a weird combo you might be thinking and why would one choose to write about these. As a 24 year old single woman it made perfect sense to write about the three most common themes in my life. Fat, I’m not saying that I am fat but that working out, being active and what I’m putting into my mouth is something very important for me and most other woman around me in my life. Boys, need I really explain this one. Skinny jeans, is referring to fashion. Fashion and shopping is an Olympic sport to me.

Here is a little about your writer. My parents are a city boy and a country pumpkin. These two came together to form a perfect mixture of rural and urban living making my life growing up the suburb life. Things I have loved since birth are the color pink, shopping, dancing, family, crowns, talking, great white sharks, pictures, sleeping, traveling and adventure. I have always been ambitious and knew one day I would go far. At 7 years old I would tell people my “life plan”, first I would become Miss Highland, next Miss Utah County, then Miss Utah, which would then lead to me becoming Miss America and Universe. Then after all that was said and done I would then become the first lady President in which I would then take over the world. As I stated before very ambitious! At 12 years old I started telling everyone I wanted to be a lawyer for sexual abused children and an international adoption agent. In Jr.High I started writing papers about the date rape drug, sexual abuse and my personal stories of visiting the orphanages in the Ukraine. All of this evolved into when I was 18 and in my first year of college I picked up the college paper and read an article about an agent that rescued children from sex trafficking. After reading his amazing story and diving further into this topic my new life aspiration was to be an advocate against human sex trafficking. This then leads us to me now. I have a Bachelors in Political Science and next spring will be done with my second Bachelors in Psychology. I am diligently working on my undergrad research paper on the lack of awareness and information provided on this subject.

My life has been full of random stories and unfortunate situation. I have been called the poster girl for Murphy’s Law time from time. My dating history has been one of brightly colored splashes on the pages of my life’s journey. Some were great and others have been chalked up to learning experiences.

“It’s sad but it’s true how society says her life is already over. There’s nothing to do and there’s nothing to say till the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder. It seems so unlikely in this day and age.” One of my favorite quotes!


Since this is my first post I don’t want to over do it or bore you with the chronological details of my life, this for now will have to be sufficient for getting to know me.
