Hello humans. My name is Kelli. The other half of this blog.

As we break the ice with this blog, here are 20 19 facts about me. Think of it as what I find most important in my life thus far.

1. I’m currently pursuing a degree in marketing at North Dakota State University. My title at the end of my journey will be Marketing Major with a minor in Strategic Communication.
2. I have been dating the same man for over 3 4 years now, he’s one of my best friends, and the most supportive boyfriend ever.
3. I’m the baby of three children. My brother – Josh – is seven years older. And my sister – Ashley – is 10 years older (she’s the other half of this blog).
4. I was born in North Dakota but call Minnesota home. I love being in ND for school, but the lakes area is what I call home.
5. I’ve got two of the most amazing, crazy, & supportive parents in the world. Wouldn’t be where I am today without them. They support me in everything, and tell me when I am crazy.
6. I’m a proud hockey fan. (Go Wild!) I prefer college hockey, but I am slowly growing to love professional hockey as well.
7. I am a picky eater. Pickier than Ashley. I don’t do mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, bacon, and most other vegetables. It’s difficult since I love eating. Update: I recently discovered bruschetta, so I am a fan of tomatoes now!
8. I have an adorable little German Shepard named Doc. My boyfriend and I got him from the humane society and has been a part of our starter family for 5 months now. He is a bundle of energy so we often take him to the lake. Doc does better on a paddleboard then I do.
9. I hate scary movies. I have never been able to handle them. My friends and I all went to The Conjuring once and I slept with my lights on for a week.
10. I love the idea of traveling and learning other cultures– I plan to study aboard next summer in Europe. Look forward to posts about my plans!
11. I am slowly growing to hate texting. I prefer SnapChat since its quick and to the point. But don’t expect a quick reply from me on texting, I take hours.
12. College Kid Moment: My drink of choice is a Bloody Mary with a side of Coors or just a straight tequila shot. I have never been a fan of fruity drinks. (Make me sick)
13. I spend a lot of time at the lake. Living in Minnesota, that shouldn’t surprise anyone. Paddleboarding, swimming, bow fishing, kayaking, floating down the river, etc., you will find me there.
14. I’m a sucker for Gilmore Girls, Friends, and Gossip Girl. Anything that includes some laughable moments I’m down for.
15. I believe in karma. Strongly. I think everything we do will be either rewarded for or have a consequence later. Your actions change your attitude.
16. I love shoes. Drives my boyfriend crazy. He owns a total of 2 pairs of shoes, and last time I counted I owned 35 pairs. I buy way too many of them – especially since 75% of them are boots. Purses and shoes are the two things I treat myself to regularly. Life is short, buy the shoes.
17. I stress out a lot trying to accomplish everything and be perfect. It is something I work on daily. Often times in school I have cried the night away based on a bad grade. I have just started to love myself and my flaws and accept them.
18. Officially started a diet about a month ago, and so far have lost 10 pounds. My overall goal is to better love my body and be comfortable in my own skin.
19. The best thing someone has ever told me was “Don’t have a bad attitude going into something, whether it be a project, a new job, a new school, anything. Having a bad attitude to start will make the whole experience horrible. Start off on the right foot.”

My life is just being, much like this blog. I am excited for people to learn more about myself and my wonderful sister!
