Oh my goodness! How quickly TWO years have come and gone! It amazes me how much I have learned in the past two years and how much has come from blogging. I hate to sound sappy, but when I say blogging has changed my life I whole heatedly mean it. I have met so many amazing people and many whom I now consider very dear friends, even best friends! I never dreamed people would read Monograms and Manicures. In fact, when I went back and read my first post (which I remember took me a good 45+ minutes to write) I remembered thinking that having a blog would be a great way to share all my favorite things (most specifically my finds!) with my family and friends. As I have mentioned before I used to literally have to beg my mother and best friends to read my blog- I never dreamed anyone else would want to read it. However, I was wrong and each day am SO glad to be surrounded by such amazing people...even if only through a computer screen. I am SO grateful to be part of such an amazing community and I look forward to more fun in the years to come.I just had to take a trip down memory lane and re-post my first post!
Well I sort of decided to try this out on a whim! I have never been into blogging, but having read so many interesting ones over the past few weeks I figured I have nothing to lose!
I will start off telling you a little bit about myself. I live and work in Dallas, Texas. I moved here in December of 2006 and adore it! I graduated from the University of Minnesota (where I was a Kappa!) a semester early to take an amazing job I was offered that fall. I am not your typical northern girl and in fact only lived in Minnesota for 2.5 years when I was in college. I was born and raised in the South and Central America. I went to boarding school in CT and spent my freshman year of college in VA. I transferred to Minnesota my sophomore year after an interesting, but fun year at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. I was an art history and Spanish major in college, but also spent several months studying abroad in France (I did both a French immersion program as well as a Gothic art course). I am now working and believe I have the most amazing job in the world. I get to do something different everyday and could not work with kinder people. Everyday I learn something new; amazing is the only way to describe it! This is the VERY short version of my life, but a good start! I am so excited to be out there and having fun!!
