H E L L O.

It’s been a while. A while TOO long. A lot of things have happened these past few months; and I finally have the chance to sit down and type them all out. So, let’s make a list, shall we?

Things malpal has done while being MIA:

{in random order}

– graduated college

– THE DRIFTER was featured in a magazine!

– finished ALL French classes (this is a way bigger deal than it sounds)

– tripped to NYC

– turned 23

– gotten a job at a magazine

– started a print shop

All of these things have been huge accomplishments for me. I mean I’ve been trying to graduate college since I started pre-k right? While each of these things carried different lengths of time commitment, work, etc., the most challenging was definitely French. Let’s just say I do not encourage taking 2 years of a foreign language online, especially when you have absolutely zero knowledge of said language. I don’t regret it, but it sure wasn’t easy. Okay, maybe I do regret it a little. But, I do love French and appreciate it even more now! **Waves French flag on desk**

The reason I titled this post “new chapters” is obvious, but I am not going to go into too much detail on all of the things I listed right now. I want to devote different posts to one specific thing from now on. I’m going to be posting A LOT more so get ready. If you aren’t already subscribed, be sure to do that. And I will feature much more than just style-themed posts. I’m really excited about what the future will hold. Maybe some post-grad themed posts or an office tour, etc. Oh and fitness posts are coming because I will need you guys to help me train for a half-marathon. Yep, that’s happening.

It’s almost september too. Fresh month, fresh start, fresh malpal?

See you guys on Thursday!

I am a 30-something southern gal who loves to document life in the form of photos and wordy sentences. My husband and I have two boys and two dogs that keep us quite busy considering the boys are only 18 months apart! I created this space years ago as a visual scrapbook for me to look back on and share things I love. Welcome to my little space of the internet. I'm happy you are here!
