About Me

Meet the Ginger Behind the Journal

 Hey guys and welcome to my new and improved blog! My name is Sarah and I'm the redhead who writes all these adventure stories. If you didn't know, I used to use this blog to write about my stories as a missionary, but now that I'm a wife and mom, I thought I'd switch things up and write about my adventures learning how to parent. I enjoy writing about all the ups and downs of life with my husband Earl and our son Milo, so you will get to know me pretty well as you read. But to start things out, here's some interesting things about me:



 

I Love Pictures

I believe that a big part of any story are the pictures. Fortunately for me (and I guess all of you), my best friend in the world is an incredible photographer and she has taken so many amazing pictures of my family and me, I can hardly stop staring at them all day every day. If my blog posts end up just being a million pictures, don't act surprised.

I Love My Family

I grew up in a family of 9 and I loved it! We spent so much time together and focusing on family that the importance of family has been ingrained in who I am. In May of 2018 I married my absolute dream boy, Earl and in September of 2019 we welcomed our first little baby into our new little family. If you want to hear a more in-depth story about our family, I have a family tab that's got all the cute details of our love story.

I Love Makeup

I have always loved makeup and how beautiful it is, but just in the last couple years, I've really gotten into it. I love that makeup can be a normal every day thing, or it can be used so creatively, like art. Someday I would love to be a makeup artist, so I can create art on other faces and not just my own.




I Love My Friends

 My best friends Christie and Brandon are gonna come up a lot in this blog so I thought I'd just tell you that they're a part of me. I can't have the life I have now without them. They have been there for me through every important part of my life and I plan to keep them for the rest of forever. 

I Love My Saviour

 

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I think it's important to include that in this about me page because my religion is a large part of my life. I served an LDS mission in Edmonton, Canada and I married my husband in the Meridian, Idaho Temple. The gospel of Jesus Christ has helped me make important decisions and given me peace during really difficult times. If you're interested in hearing more about that, my missionary blog posts are in the archives of this blog.
