Hi, My name is Amanda and I am having a mid-twenties crisis. A Hopes & Dreams crisis at that. I am really hoping to hear that you all go through similar things…so give me some “misery loves company” please. 🙂 
Backing it up…I am not miserable. Nope, far from it. I think God would downright slap me in the face if I started to boo hoo about my life not “being all I want.” Yes, he would absolutely slap me. So would my father. And Lord knows what my mom would do- that is scary! 


But… {there is always a “but”} I am a girl filled with passion and… a mouth to speak for it. It’s good and bad because when I get excited {which is super often} I get fired up and I produce results. From recovering a cookie sheet to become a chic tray, to making the best dang dinner Wednesday night has ever seen to “work stuff,” I get involved!!! When I am passionate, it’s clear and it usually spreads. Josh always tells me I should give sales a shot {ehh}… 


Bad thing is…when I get passionate, I can also get very frustrated with myself. I want everything to be right and I want to produce perfect results. It kills me to let anyone down or to have anyone disappointed in me or my work, it is detrimental to my morale {I blame my parents disciplinary tactics, jk}. I also want everyone in on my goals and to give it their all too. Well wake up AMC, the real world is slapping me in the face. I can’t always get my way, not every idea that I have will develop, not everyone will share in all of my ideas and goals, and I will mess up, I won’t be perfect and I will {not on purpose!!!} disappoint people. 


The Real World is having a blast teaching me lessons this month. For all of you MTV The Real World fans: it isn’t all hot tubs and shots. It’s learning who you are and how you can share that with the world. 


For me…I still have more noodling to do. But hey, I am about one month from turning 25, and I don’t think anyone expects me to have it ALL figured it out yet. Right? So I should relax. I will still strive for that “produce perfect results” mentality, but it’s okay to keep hoping & dreaming while I figure this whole Real Life thing out. 


I can’t leave you hanging without some happy, pretty pictures of things that I have been loving lately.This time it is all “Home” themed. Cause Home is where the Heart is, and I know where my heart is. 
Also these homes are nice looking 🙂
