Hello!
My name is Lynn, & I’m new to the blogging world. I’ve been following a handful of blogs for a
few months now & finally decided to create my own to use sort of as an
online scrapbook to document events or little tidbits in my life and to keep
friends/family up-to-date on things that are happening. So welcome to my blog! Allow me to introduce myself..
* I am the middle child of 5 – I have 2 brothers & 2
sisters. My extended family is even
bigger - my dad had 8 siblings & my mom had 4, so I have a lot of aunts,
uncles, & cousins..& now second cousins, too! (or are my
cousins’ children my first cousins once removed?)
* I am a farm girl.
My parents own a dairy farm that has been in my family for several generations.
I milked cows almost every day until I
moved away to college.
* I graduated with my undergraduate degree in 2009 &
decided to go back to school for my MBA degree last year. I just completed my 7th class out
of 12, so I’m over halfway done! I
should finish the program next Spring.
* I have/had been in a relationship for the past 6 years
(well, almost..June would have officially marked 6 years).
I won’t go into any more detail on that right now. I’m just waiting to see what God has planned
for me.
* Speaking of God, I belong to the Catholic faith. The community that I live in is predominantly
German Catholics, and I even attended a Catholic high school. However, I never went to church regularly on
my own free will until last year. Random
fact: I decided to make attending church every weekend my New Year’s Resolution
last year, & well..it worked.
* I am living back at home with my parents for the time
being. I hope to change this soon..
* I love being outdoors, whether I am fishing, practicing my golf swing,
watching stock car races, mowing the lawn (yes, I’m weird..I enjoy cutting
grass), taking a walk, or simply watching the sunset. In my opinion, nothing beats the wide-open country
view from my parents’ front porch:

* I get a little crazy taking pictures sometimes. I always carry a camera with me in my
purse. Someday I hope to upgrade to an
SLR camera so I can really get artsy & experiment more with photography.
* I enjoy traveling and exploring new places. I would like to visit all 50 states in my
lifetime, but I’m not off to a very good start since I don’t get out of the
Midwest very often.
* I am a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan. GO CARDS!!

* Sometimes I think I should have been an English
teacher. I know I’m not perfect, but I
often catch myself correcting other people.
For example:
- “Expecially” is NOT a word.
- It’s “should have” (or
“should’ve” for short) rather than “should of.”
- “Then” and “than” are NOT
interchangeable.
- “I seen” should be “I saw” or “I have seen.”
I could go on, but I’ll get off my soapbox & stop now..
* I love Ski! No, I’m
not talking about the outdoor winter sport.
I’m referring to the highly-caffeinated citrus soda/pop/soft
drink..whatever you want to call it!
* I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes. I like to find new recipes online, & The Pioneer Woman's website is really what got me hooked on blogging. I found other foodie blogs that I now follow
as well (such as Mix and Match Mama).
* I like baking, too,
but I enjoy licking the empty batter bowl clean even more ;-)
* My birthday is in 5 days!
Stay tuned for more updates…
