Hobby Palooza

What a wonderful week!

This week I have been able to play tennis twice! Tennis brings so much joy to my heart. I haven't played in two or so years. I am a bit rusty/horrible and it's slightly humiliating playing on a court next to army guys serving at mach speeds... but it is still one of my favorite things to do. (I did dominate my boyfriend who has only played a couple times his whole life...still counts!)

I also started a new book. I am in the middle of reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but it was really bumming me out. I sat it aside and decided to read The Hunger Games before the movie comes out. I cried in Ch. 2. I am not a fan of books that make me cry but I decided to keep reading. It has gotten much better! Katniss is much more relatable than the terrifying/tragic Lisabeth Salander.

On top of my hobby bliss, the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Celtics and the Lakers back-to-back! BAM!

The air inside the tennis ball cans smells like springtime.

My poor bunny Elton (who I pose more often than I'd like to admit) checking out Blogcritics. He's a bit obsessed with watching Once Upon a Time. 

Happily,
Erin

Hello blogging...again

I am horrible at remembering to update this, I will try my best to be more consistent!

Things have been so crazy and new lately. I actually have a job I LOVE. I have heard people talk of jobs they "loved" and chalked it up to them being delusional... turns out it is possible after all! I am working for RAW Marketing now and am really enjoying all the tasks and challenges. Crazy right?!

I have almost been out of school for a year now and it is just now hitting me how different life is when you don't have a continually changing schedule and classmates. I miss the revolving classmates so much lately! I love meeting new people. I'm thinking about taking vo-tech classes to get my fix...

My life as of lately:

The newest addition to my family, Sir Elton John the Bunny.

I got bangs. Sometimes I love them, sometimes I hate them. 

My church moved into a beautiful historic building downtown. 

I made myself a cozy home office. 

Texas trip with Jill, Julie and Ashlee!

Comfort

It's raining today.

It feeds my soul: sound, smell, and soggy shoes. The harder the better. The rain makes me pay attention to things I usually look right through. I listen to music better, I taste warm tea better, I understand deeper, and somehow I even cook better.

I love living in Oklahoma where it comes infrequently enough to spark something inside me, to change my outlook on things.

The First One

I am so excited to be starting a blog. I have recently graduated college with a marketing degree and have hit the “now what” phase. I am searching and learning the ups and downs of life as it comes and so far it has been a blast. I am finally seeing things I’m passionate about bear fruit. I have started learning more about the people and places I love, and where I belong in that mess.

I want to document the places I travel, the beauty I see, and the people I get to share it all with. I love Oklahoma and all the local talent we have to offer. I can’t wait to share all the hidden treasures and the reality of living in this friendly place.

Learning needs to be a constant in my life and I know little-to-nothing about blogging so if you have any pointers please let me know!.

Thanks for reading my first blog!
