Ta-dah! So here it is. My new blog. I’m afraid of the monster that this is inevitably going to become because I’m a very passionate person and I have a tendency to jump in with both feet. I should probably learn to start by just dipping in a toe, rather than diving off a cliff…head first…into the rocks…with the sharks. But I guess that’s just synonymous with everything else I do with my life.
Oh, my life. Yeah. I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. Hi, my name is Elisabeth, but I actually go by “Lili.” It’s a nickname I acquired as a baby. My brothers used to call me “Little Bit.” Then “Lilla Bit.” Then just “Lilla,” which became “Lili.” My mom chose to spell it that way because she thought it would be the easiest for me to learn how to write. Cause a line and a dot is easier than a long line with a short one (“Lily”). ☺
A few things about me: I love my family. Gosh, I love them so much. I also love horses, especially my precious horse, “Halo” (more on him later). And of course, I love my religion. I hate shopping, spiders (but I still try to avoid killing them), arrogance, wasabi, and manipulation. I love nail polish, clean sheets, good books, seasons (especially fall), traveling, down-to-earth people, desserts, Chap Stick, flowy dresses, beaches… oh, I could go on forever.
Halo. ☺ All I can do is smile when I think of my horse. He’s gorgeous. I always joke about how hard it is finding the perfect man in a different species. He’s tall, dark, and handsome. He’s funny. He’s smart. He’s athletic, He’s fun. And he’s sweet. It sounds so cliché, but every time I ride him, I forget about everything—whatever problem I’m dealing with or whatever stress I’m managing—it all just disappears. He’s my best friend.
All right, I guess I’ll call it a day. This will have to be enough to go on for now.
And what did I tell you? A monster.
