a brand new beginning

So, this is my first ever blog post... Kind of interesting.  Starting a blog is one of my many new years resolutions so I might as well start it today seeing as it is already January 2nd...

So here is a little tid-bit about me.  I am 21 years young, a student at University of Wisconsin Eau Claire studying Advertising.  I have finally decided on a major that I am interested in after spending two years on a nursing major and then another year in special education and now advertising.  If you haven't noticed, I'm a rather indecisive person but I'm getting better slowly.

Thats me when I lived in the hotel. Gotta love procrastinating about living situation... I lucked out and was placed in the hotel, instead of overflow again... I loved living in the hotel but I LOVE living in my own apartment with one of my best friends.

My friends mean the world to me. They are all so different but yet we all work so well together. We are crazy, goofy, silly, spastic and nothing short of insane at times but I couldn't ask for any better friends who are more like sisters. We don't have to talk every day, or even every week, but once we are together everything goes back to normal.

I am the youngest of 4 children and I have the most confusing family tree... EVER. So I won't try to explain it here.  :)

This year for Christmas, my amazing mom surprised me with my very own puppy! She is a beagle, bull dog, boxer mix named Ava Leigh. My mom left her in a kennel in her kitchen the day I came home for winter break, I was so excited I honestly cried. Ava is a rather aggressive little bugger but I am completely head over heals in love with her.

Her head is really not that big but I just love those eyes! Trying to train her has been a struggle, but makes me realize that I have some patience issues. Ava has already taught me so much about myself and I've only had her for 2 weeks.
