I've been trying to figure out which direction I want my blog to go in cause as of right now it's kind of lame. Every blog I follow at this point is dedicated to home decorating in beautiful white and french design. One would probably think I'm into design...def. not the case, but I do appreciate beautiful work.
Me and my boyfriend continuously talk about when we move out and start our lives and I must say I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE MY OWN HOUSE!!! I think about it all the time and I'm sure I will going back to these blogs for some information. Along with design I would like to travel to Europe to see the sights and soak up some other culture. I'm very proud to be an American and with that I would love to widen my cultural range.
Lots of things going on for this 23 year old right now. Working on my first manuscript (as you can see in the post below), taking three more Praxis (teacher's examination) Exams between September and March: Busy, busy, busy! Well hopefully I'll be back soon with some updates and direction.
Love ya!

Writing my first book
Here is a little bit of background. In December it will be ten years since I lost my father to a massive heart attack, and to commemorate a great man, and shed light to the situation my family and I were put in, I am writing my first book. I plan on having the book finished by his anniversary and afterward will go through the complete editing process (if I don't get it done before hand) and attempting to have it published.
If anyone has lost someone the love and have repressed feelings and are still grieving, I suggest writing it down. Writing gives you an escape, through words and characters. My characters are based off people I know or have met, some characters are a combination of a few different people. The meaning in my book is, so deep only family members will be able to tell what I've done in terms of referring to different places and people.
Writing in Barnes & Noble yesterday, I wrote part of a chapter involving my sister, and writing about her as a seven year old kid, while having her sitting as a seventeen year old in front of me was mind boggling and there was nothing I could do about the tears that followed.
Hopefully, one day, everyone will have the chance to read my story and know how much myself and my family loved my father, and how much he loved us in return.
Best Wishes for a wonderful day to everyone, thank you.

Harry Potter!!
Okay, so my dirty little secret is that I LOVE HARRY POTTER! If you saw me you would never think I was a fan, but I have read all of series at least three times. If you have never read these books you are deprived. J.K.Rowling is truly inspiring. Right now I myself am writing a book, slowly but surely due to stress and God knows what else goes on in my life, but I will have it finished by this December.
