first post!

hi everyone! my name is katie, and this is my first post in my new blog. i'm really, really excited (and really, really nervous) about doing this. i blogged from middle school until halfway through college on livejournal, and wish that i had never stopped. i have a TON of exciting and big, scary things happening in my life right now that i want to keep track of, and i'm hoping that blogging will be the perfect outlet.

i'm a twenty-something living in a small city in southern virginia with my sweet boyfriend, austin. i am a part-owner of the button factory, a soon-to-open (april 26th!!!) online vintage clothing boutique, with my friend, bekuh. i hope to use this space to share our dreams and to be able to look back on them (hopefully!) coming true. :)

i'm keeping my fingers crossed that i can start learning blogging html, miraculously start taking more than one picture every time i go out of town, and learn how to write again (it's been a long time since college)! i want this to be something big for me. <3

ps. my 'i' key is broken so excuse any lack of i's ;)
