First Post & Blogs of Years Past

Hey everyone, and welcome to my blog!

...and by everyone, I mean my mother and maybe 3 other people.

This is me (on the right, that is). I'm a newlywed living in Provo, Utah and going to school at Brigham Young University. 

I know, I know that everything about that last sentence is about as cliche as you can get, and that I'm in the exact same life situation as most bloggers in all of ever are. Even so, I decided that I'm at a good point in my life to document some of my experiences. 

This isn't my first attempt at blogging, however. A couple years ago, I began a blog called Cantare e Cucinare and I posted a grand total of three times. And way, way before that, I had an amusing little blog called The Panda Queen (click link at your own risk. There are no guarantees of what you'll find there).

*Ahem.* 

Anyway, a little bit more about myself & my little family:

I'm a Choral Music Education Major at BYU (oh yeah... I had a blog for that, too) and it is wonderful. Of course, it also drives me insane. But I somehow still manage to absolutely love it. I've got a year left of classes, and then a year of student teaching. I also love cooking, doodling, reading, and watching movies with my husband.


And speaking of my husband... this is him!  

Nick's a Film/ "Media Arts" major (also at BYU), and he's doing amazing things. I may be a bit biased, but I'm absolutely not saying that lightly. Keep an eye out for Nick Ritter's stuff in the future, because you will not want to miss it. 

This guy is my biggest support and he keeps me going. I'm beyond grateful that I get to claim him for forever.  

We've been married since July of last year, and those 9 months have been the craziest, most fantastic months of my life so far. I love being married. I know that my stubborn self 2 years ago would have cringed at that statement, but it's true.

All these fantastic photos were taken by Mad Marie Photography.

Anyway. I won't bore you more today. But fingers crossed that I actually keep this blog running. My goal for the summer is at least one post a week. 

Here's to more adventures!
