inaugural message

and so it begins!

I'm excited to open my first blog: a compliation of my take on some little things about life. I have to say that I've been inspired by my Mom's blog and my Aunt's blog, both of which are so pleasantly written. I have been hooked reading each of them, even getting my friends in on reading them too!

Those of you who know me remember that I'm a college kid. Not only that, but a minority here at university: a married college kid. I'm an ad major along with my husband, Robert. We are blessed to have found each other so young. We look around us and say, "We are so glad to be out of the dating game at 21!" You could say we have a lot going for us: great families, exciting future, love being best friends. You would be right. We depend on the Lord for our needs and don't really worry about it. Our life is pretty simple right now, although there are those days. Overall, our 10 months of "wedded bliss" honestly have been pretty blissfull and we're lovin' every minute of it!

You could probably tell from the blog name that I'm one of those "creative" people. It's true. It's a fact about my personality since I was pretty young. Ask my mom. She'll tell you that when I was five, I'd run around the house wringing my hands saying, "I just have to make something!" Since then, my love for creating hasn't stopped. Every inch of our tiny apartment is evidence. Poor Robert. I do vow, however, to never have a "crafty" home. You know, like spong-paint and frilly. Not exactly my style. I like the classy-yet-comfy, cool-yet-warm style. It comes out in my decorating, graphic design and I'd like to think- personality.
So there you have it- that kind of sums up what kind of gal I am. Stop over on occasion and see what's going on in my neck of the woods.

Hey Lauren! I'm so glad you are blogging! I really enjoyed your first post - you have an easygoing style of writing that invites me to read more.

Life stays pretty simple when you have the Lord and a great guy to share life with. I'm so happy for you. Can't believe it's been almost a year!

I love you, Lauren, and I'm so proud of you. Give Robert a hug for me!
