use your indoor voice.

I’m in my mid 20’s, I am married (as of 7/17/2010) and according to my husband I am the perfect combination of beauty (he has to say that though because he loves me) and weirdo (I think he just thinks I’m weird because he’s never lived with a girl).

I’m a recovering shy person that used to not like who she was. That’s not the case anymore.

I typically lack the ability to control the volume of my voice. Yeah - I’m a loud talker.

I’ve blogged since before it was cool. The first 2 and a half years of my college life are pretty well chronicled, although it’s mostly humorous stories and small insights into my dating life.

I live to entertain - I love making people laugh, I also enjoy throwing parties, happy hours, and casual get-togethers.

My sisters will attest that I was not fashionable for the first 20 years of my life. That’s a lie. OK, it’s not, but I love fashion now and have discovered how to properly style myself.

Despite loving fashion and pretty things I hate to shop. When I go to a store I know exactly what I’m looking for, and once I’ve purchased it I go home. I can’t make myself scan racks for hours on end looking for a deal, I have some amazing friends that possess that ability and alert me.

Shoes - I like ‘em. The sassier the better.

My style - A little bit of everything, preppy, edgy, classic. I would be so content to wear resort-wear for the rest of my life.

I’m an avid horseback rider and I competed in college. Since entering the real world and getting a real job (I work in corporate marketing and PR) I haven’t had much time for it. I’m looking to change that.

I love sushi - I lived in Japan for almost 4 years when I was younger (airforce brat) and I fell in love with Japanese food. I could eat rice for every meal. I could also eat cereal for every meal but that’s besides the point.

I love to cook and bake.

I really love design. Whether it’s a nicely arranged room, architecture, or great product packaging - I love it.

I’m a firm believer that you can’t love someone else until you learn to love who you are. It took me awhile to learn that.
