Life Goals

I have always had life goals that pop up from time to time. I am hoping to keep a running list here to keep track of them:)

• Restore a historic home
• Build a victorian doll house
• Travel to Europe
• Be on the Miss Rodeo America executive board
• More to come.........

New York, New York

I can not contain my excitement for going to the big apple in 10 days!!! There are so many aspects of this great place that are so dear to my heart. First would be my family. I love being able to see my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins during our visits. I wish I could spend more time with them all during the year:) I hate to say this but I love the variety and quality of food in NY. Black and White cookies, pizza, bagels, pasta, and everything else delicious is all available!!! Culture is another aspect that fascinates me about New York, but probably coming from a South Dakota background makes culture in New York more evident. I love going back to Lake Lucile, one of my favorite places in the whole world. This place remains close to me because I spent many amazing childhood memories in this small community by the lake. Memories I will never forget. New York offers a abundance of variety and opportunity, it has always caused struggle within myself because I love this place so much but I have also learned to love South Dakota and all of its special treasures. My trip to New York is always the highlight of my year and I can't wait to share the experience on my blog!!

Beginning of the Online Storage Unit

I have been tossing around the idea of a blog for several months, so today I'm very proud to announce that I will be storing my thoughts, ideas, goals, aspirations, ambitions, accomplishments, photographs, creations, and love into a blog. I always feel short-sided writing little snippets on Facebook or Twitter, so I believe that this blog will suffice as a reliable outlet to share what's new in the world of 1986. As I was creating the header for this blog I noticed a lot of my old photography in all of my files on my computer. So for today I want to share a few that have remained hidden in my computer.
