Well good morning everyone! How was your weekend? I am so sad to see Sunday here hopefully it goes by nice and slow... right? ;)
Today is day 1 of the 30 day challenge I accepted! If you missed what I am talking about, you can check it out here!
So without further ado, shall I get going?
Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts
Recent picture:
Here is a picture of me (in the middle) with four of my closest friends. I think the five of us were together for a friends birthday. It only happens a few times a year when we're all together but when we do it's always a good time! :)
Introduction:
I am Amber a 28 year old girl (woman?) living in the Midwest and loving life! I work for a major US retailer and run one of the busiest stores in the company, it for sure keeps me busy! I am also working on my master's degree part-time at Drake University and I absolutely love it! I'm so glad to back in the classroom learning, I feel like I'm using my brain at work but I'm not really learning, ya know? I have a wonderful family that I am so grateful for! My parents live about 20 minutes away from me and I have recently rented a condo with my sister who is 4 years younger than me. We are having a great time living together, but I think the dogs are enjoying it more! I have a black puggle named Zeke and she has a black and white chihuahua named Chico and they adore each other. I'm so glad they have a buddy for those long days my sister and I work! I have a great group of friends that I am also extremely grateful for. We have been friends since the beginning of college and I love when we can all get together -- it doesn't happen too often, unfortunately! Then, last but certainly not least I have been dating an amazing guy for the past few months that has shown me what a real man is and is slowly but surely getting me to trust guys again -- I didn't think it would happen this fast after my last break up but... I guess I should expect the unexpected! :)

I hate all melon as well.. something about the texture and the watery flavor makes me cringe! Oh, and mouth noises gross me out too!
Loved learning more about you :) I'm not a fan of watermelon either!
I've seen this a bunch of places lately and I think it's a great idea to get out of a rut and share things that you might not have thought of. Like the fact you're part American Indian. I never would have been able to guess from your pictures.
My favorite pieces of clothing are always ones that I got super cheap too!!
