Have you ever stumbled upon someone’s online blog and thought, “Okay, who is this person they keep writing about?” or “Well, why do they keep bringing up Friends references? And Taylor Swift!?” or “I’m so confused, but I really want to know more about this person’s life!” I know I certainly have! So, that is the reason for this post. It’s a re-introduction. A lot of people I follow on Instagram do these “Introductions” posts, and I may do one eventually, too, but I am more of a blogger, so this is my Introduction blog!
My husband Rick and I met in college. He was the student teacher in my orientation class and I met him on my very first day of college. Crazy, right? Every time I hear that song Hot for Teacher by Van Halen it makes me think back to our ol’ college days. ;) After a few years of dating, we married on October 15th 2010 at my parent’s house. On the grass airplane runway behind the house to be exact. It was a cool, sunny, beautiful autumn day. One of my favorite days.
My most favorite day ever was the day our son was born. His name is Graham Finley. He just turned one, and is a ball of energy! I write about him a lot, and love being his mommy! He has truly proven to be the best Christmas present we’ve ever received.
We have two cats, Lexington Mae and Murray Boswell. They are named after cities in Kentucky. Lexi is more high-maintenance, while Murray is easy-going and chill. I would seriously have a cat farm if Rick would let me.
My parents, Sharon & Finley, are the coolest parents ever. Is it cool to still use the phrase cool? I don’t know, but they really are the best! I am always grateful for their support, love and advice. I love shopping and having girl talk with Mom, while discussing basketball and airplanes with Dad. So yeah, you could say they are pretty fun to be around.
I love my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew to pieces! Amber, Wayne, and Kody live near my parents, so I oftentimes see them just as much, if not more, than my parents. Amber also helps me photograph weddings! She’s always looking out for what our brides and grooms need, while making sure I drink enough water, too.
I’ve known my best friend Tiffany since preschool. In high school, we used to have ‘holiday’ lunches and skip class for them. (Oops!) Then we would hang out at my house eating Wheat Thins and drinking Diet Pepsi Vanilla. We even went to college together, living down the hall from each other in the dorm. She’s always there for me, and knows just what to say to make me feel better. She has the best heart, too. Oh, I just love her!
A few more ‘tid-bits’ about me. I love: Taylor Swift, University of Kentucky basketball, dogeared pages of books, Instagram, reading, Target, bubble baths, writing, sharpies, post-it notes, lemonheads, reality TV, autumn, and cats. Well, animals in general, but specifically, cats. I began my business in 2009 and I enjoy photographing weddings and families.
And that’s that! I hope this gives any new readers a little more insight into who I am and who I am talking about in my posts. :) Also, follow me on Facebook and Instagram.
Just for fun, here’s my VERY FIRST BLOG POST back in 2009! :)
Happy Labor Day! I hope you have enjoyed this long weekend so far with family and friends. I know I have, and I’m still enjoying it, too.
Have a great rest of the day,
Bethany
