The First Post

So after reading the blog of "Veronika's Blushing" http://veronabrit.blogspot.com/ which focuses on a lot of my "favorite things", I've been inspired to write a blog too!  Here's to my first blog post!

I used to keep an online blog journal (kind of a like a diary of my daily life and interesting happenings), but at the time, I was still in college and life really wasn't that interesting!  It comes in handy for me to re-read those entries from time-to-time because I have a TERRIBLE memory and often forget past occurrences!

A little about me:

I'm Kate.  I'm 25 years old (turning 26 in a few weeks) and recently engaged to my boyfriend - Sean - of over 6 years.  About a year ago, we bought a house in a Milwaukee suburb and have been working to remodel/renovate/decorate and make it a home.  We have two cats - Ginger and Roxy - who are quite mischievous together, despite their large difference in age (Ginger is 14 or 15, and Roxy is 2.5).  Oh, and we're getting married in August of 2011!

Kate and Sean

I currently work in marketing/advertising for an upscale automobile dealership.  I love marketing and creating relationships with customers, and developing creative materials that not only appeal to the eye, but catch your attention and really drive the message home and call you (the customer) into action!

At home, I have a strong passion for decorating (on a budget!), fashion (on a budget!), and make-up products (of course, on a budget!).  I'm trying hard to have a passion for fitness and exercise, but honestly, I'm lacking motivation lately (which is strange considering I have a wedding coming up! - Eek!)

So that's me and an eclectic summary of what this blog will be about - decorating, fashion, make-up, wedding planning, advertising...maybe anything that pops up in my life and is relevant and worth writing about!
To that end, thanks for reading and let's establish a relationship!  What sort of things interests you?  What kind of blogs do you enjoy reading?

Cheers!
