About Me


Hi! My name is Julie and am the wife to Nathan as well as the proud Mama to Cooper (our adorable Shorkie). I am a 25 year old Midwestern farm girl who loves to spend time with her friends and family.

We initially created this blog to keep our friends and families up to date on our lives away from home. So please do not judge me on my earlier posts. I am trying to improve!

I like to post what we have been up to as well as random thoughts I have. I have found this to be a great way to document our lives and the early years of our marriage. 

Enough of the boring stuff, here are some random facts about me.

1. My favorite color is blue.
2. I have recently gotten into photography. I would LOVE to take a class.
3. I am a Spring kind of girl.
4. I grew up in a town of only 300 something people in Iowa.
5. I LOVE dresses. Would wear one every day if I could.
6. Right handed.
7. My favorite candles are those that vanilla or muffin scented. Oh, or birthday cake.
8. Speaking of which, I am a total sweets girl.
9. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.
10. My nose was broken twice, but I have never broken any other bones.
11. I write like a child. Honestly my handwriting is horrendous. Once an older gentle analyzed my handwriting and told me that I am a young spirit, and that I probably have a room full of stuffed animals I won't get rid of. He was correct.
12. Twelve is my favorite number.
13. Also I prefer even numbers. I just simply like them better.
14. I have two brothers and one awesome sister. I am the third child.
15. I would prefer to hibernate during the winter.
16. I am married to a Chiropractor. And yes, it totally rocks.
17. I am terrified of bees and wasps.
18. My hand-eye coordination lis something left to be desired.
19. I dream almost every night.
20. My favorite Disney movie as a child was a toss up between Little Mermaid and Cinderella.

I hope to add more as I think of them!
