To tell you the truth, I’m not much of a writer, or at least I think I’m not. Back in school, English and Writing were my worst subjects. I’m more of a math kind of girl. One correct answer and you’re done, even though there can be several ways to get there. So now that I’ve started this new journey in blogging, I would like to introduce myself and let you in on who I am!
I’m Vanessa, I’m 28 years old, and I’m originally from Austin,TX! I moved from my home state about 3 years ago when my husband had to relocate for his job. I’ve lived in Texas, upstate New York, Colorado, and now Virginia! We’ve been living in Virginia for about a year and a half, but it still feels like yesterday that we made the transition. I come from a big, close family, so only seeing them about once a year gets very hard sometimes. During the week, I work a 9-5 bank job about 30 minutes from home. If you’re in the DMV area, you know all about that rush hour traffic, not pretty! Although photography is not my full time job at the moment, it’s my full time passion. I’m currently working my way to becoming a full time photographer! Let me tell you, it hasn’t been easy striving for this dream of mine, but that’s in a future post 🙂
Some random facts about me:
-I’m the oldest out of 4 siblings
-I’ve been into photography since a young age
-My very first camera was stolen out of my car, when I forgot to lock my doors. The thieves took nothing else!
-I collect coffee mugs
-I used to wear braces. Had them put in when I was 26 years old. I felt like I was 13 again.
-I carry my monthly planner with me at all times.
-I love to run, but you wouldn’t catch me saying that a year and a half ago!
-I’ve seen every episode of Friends and The Office. To me, I can watch those over and over, and they never get old. My favorite show to watch at the moment is Game of Thrones. “Moon of my life, My sun and my Stars”
-Even though I lived a hop, skip, and jump away from Mexico, I’ve never been. I’ve visited Canada, though! LOVED Toronto!
-I’m afraid of the dark.
-I LOVE planes! I just think they’re fascinating!
-My husband and I are expecting our first little one in December! We’ll be celebrating our 5 th wedding anniversary shortly before he or she arrives 🙂
-My husband makes me laugh like no other person.
2015 has been a big year for me so far! I can’t wait to see what else this year brings! From meeting new people, making new friends, learning new skills, attending my first workshops, hitting other personal accomplishments, and adding a new Smith to our family, 2015 is only going to get better!! 🙂
