What a GREAT start to a GREAT year....

Hello fellow bloggers,

I have taken quite some time off, but I am back to share the new and exciting news and events that have happened over the last 7 months.. I followed my heart, after much thought and hesitation, and moved back down to the good ole South! It is good to be home, let me tell you!! My good friends Lindsey and Jamie opened their home to me for a few months while I settled back into reality of being home again.. Things didn't work out in Green Bay, but they were definitely for the best! I am a much stronger and independent person now, and it was truly great and needed to see different perspectives in new culture. The North was great, and COLD, and the people were so friendly in welcoming me, but it just wasn't quite 'home' for me. I got a new puppy and he is the cutest thing ever! (Yes I am a little biased). His name is Kipton, aka Kip, aka Kippers. I settled into my first cozy apartment by myself about 4 months ago. It is very nice living by myself for once, but it did make me realize how much I missed having my roomies to share things with and to talk to. Dreading it, I recently got back into the dating world after being single for several months, but only to find a guy that is so amazing and just wonderfully charming. His name is Derek and he is a Real estate agent/co-owner of Capstone Realty. He makes me laugh so much, he comes from a great family, a great group of friends, and he is quite the adorable looker. Things are going very well between us and it's hard not to go on and on but I'll make it short and sweet. He has ALL of the qualities that I have been looking for but unable to find, so keep praying that God will continue to push us forward with one another and continue to provide happiness for us both! Ok, I have to get some work done, but I'll be back shortly.

Love you all,
B
