My Very First Post

Oh boy here we go! Off to write my very first blog post! This adventure was inspired by my baby sister who writes a blog of her own from time to time that I quite enjoy reading so I thought why not?

First off,  a fair warning, you will have to bear with me as writing is not one of my stronger qualities (we will get to those in a second,) so please forgive me in advance for any grammar error or confusion you may have. I do apologize.

Now onto the blog.

I decided to title my blog "Love and Honesty" because they are my two strongest traits. Sometimes its a blessing and other times its a curse. For those of you who know me really well, you probably already know what I mean.

Love
If I love something, I love it a lot. Whether its my husband, family, chocolate, or a favorite beauty product. I just love it and will tell the world. I can already hear my loved ones echoing "Oh yes, yes she certainly does." I remember when I first moved to Canada and I was taking classes at a local college and the instructor made us all right down our qualities or anything interesting as sort of a break-the-ice type of assignment to read aloud in front of our classmates. I'm pretty sure I wrote down that my interesting quality is that I moved to Canada from the states because I honestly could not think of anything better. Interesting enough right? My instructor said "Krista, you are a PASSIONATE young woman that you moved countries for love. That is your quality." That is when I had that Aha moment that boy he was right.  Passionate describes me in nearly every aspect. This is a quality that I am quite proud to have because not everyone really knows how to love and care about others, so I am glad that its one of my better qualities.
Now the downfall is that I am protective over everyone that I care about. Which doesn't sound so bad right? Believe me it has gotten me into trouble a time or two.  And with the way things in my/my family's life has been these past couple years everyone has seen "Protective Krista" in full gear and I know its not always seen in the best light. I have this strong sense to look out for the ones I love and my sister Holli knows this first hand.  She calls me another mother figure in her life, but I like to think of myself as a very protective big sister. With everything she's been through the past few years, someone needed to look out for her when no one else did. I did the best I could from where I was and I don't regret any of it.

Honesty

This one is quite obvious. If you are a close friend of mine you know, oh boy do you know, that you will always know what I am thinking. I can't hide it as much as I might try believe it or not. I am absolutely THAT friend that will tell you those pants don't flatter you, do not buy them. Even if I don't say things out loud(you know trying to be nice,) my face always says it.  I get that crazy look in my eyes, start chewing my my bottom lip and you can see my head just spinning. My mind is working overtime. But on the other hand, being so honest can be a really good thing too because you never have to worry about me lying to you.
So if you are looking for a friend to bullsh*t with, oh dear I am just not that person.


I think that is it for my very first blog post! Hope you enjoyed it and maybe have a better understanding of who I am.
