6 Days In

So we are 6 days into a new year. One that is full of promise, hope and everything else cheerful and grand. I ended 2010 spending a pretty average night watching the ball drop and thinking back on everything that 2010 had to offer. It was full of a lot of things, but most of all personal growth and finding out who I am. Before I make the great intro with the person I am now, I will explain first what I learned in 2010.
1- Never take anything or anyone for granted. They can be taken away in an instant.
2-I learned to love, in a way that I never knew before. A kind of love that is absolutely the best kind ever.
3- Life is easier with little money and lots of non-monetary things.
4-The hardest things in life dont seem so hard after you actually accomplish them and look back.
So theres that part, now heres the intro. Im Samantha. 25 years old from small town Virginia. I am working on a degree in Criminal Justice which will be focused on investigations. I have about a year of school left, maybe a bit more depending on summer breaks and anything else that might get in the way.
Im a hard worker who often surrounds myself in homework just to get it done, but sometimes suffers from procrastination, especially in subjects that I do not care for.
I have a wonderful boyfriend, Patrick, who comes with a very special German Shepherd named Riley. We have been celebrating lots of firsts, such as the most amazing first Christmas. We have been together 5 months, but the most special part is we have known each other for a very long time.
I am a different type of shopper, one that looks for the best deal and uses lots of coupons! I have gotten some pretty decent deals lately just by using coupons and store specials and will continue to do so to save as much money as possible.
Dr Pepper is one of my lifelines, Pepsi is the other. I am a caffeine addict and hope that these things are never outlawed or out of business ha!
I am an animal lover and enjoy taking pictures. I also cook, but have been known to keep that a secret for various reasons.
So theres the intro and the hope that I can keep this blog going to update friends and family on the happenings of life.
