first post! woooohooooo!

i love reading peoples blogs. sometimes it takes on a whole new level of creepy. like today. i found a fabulous blog (here) and literally read through it for maybe an hour. (okay it was actually 2 but everyone else does that kind of thing too, right...?) anyways it inspired me. i thought why not? i think it's good to take time out of our lives to recap our days...to ponder them, be thankful for them, try not to make the same mistakes twice, love more fully the next day and remember that life is something to be cherished.  that's why i'm starting this blog. i'm not a big journal person but i wanted to find a way to document my life, things i love (aka fashion, cooking, photography, etc. etc.) and thoughts...to be able to look back and see that my life is truly beautiful. the good, the bad, and the ugly...all of it. and to hopefully inspire someone else on the journey!
