In my life, I’m busy:Homework keeps me on my toes,friends invite me to socialize & social events,& the real world awaits. But the mountains are calling, John Muir says,& I must go,the Misty Mountains are calling,& dwarves are in my Hobbit hole.

Hello there! Thanks for checking out my blog.
Fun Facts:
• I'm in my early 30s!
• Writing is a HUGE part of my life—I'd be lost if I couldn't express myself through words. (Growing up, books were a source of comfort for me. I’m still drawn to bookshelves & read as often as I can.)
• My other hobbies include knitting, gaming, & coloring.
• I have two "Golden Girl" Retrievers, Charlie (4) & Lily (almost a year old! How time flies).
My family, friends, dogs, & fiancé Rory are all very important in my life. I honestly wouldn't trade them for anything!
Happy blogging, everyone! 💙

Dear Jude
I miss your cleaning. I miss hearing you trot out arpeggios in the middle of the night on the piano, when you can’t seem to grasp reality. I miss your cooking.
