A little note from  Christina... As you can see things are changing a bit around here. I hope you're as excited as I am! I'm really eager to dig into new life lessons and yes seriously begin writing after too long of a hideous. So just be patient with me a little longer, I'm working on new posts and an update to the blog, something new, simpler and something to match who I've grown into this past year. See you soon! ~ Christina
