Welcome New Friends

I'm linking up with Kelly's Korner.
Kelly is hosting a link up - SUYL (Show us your life) party for bloggers to meet and mingle and hopefully bloom new friendships with those bloggers that may be close enough to meet IRL.

About Me:

My name is Charlee, like Charlie, just spelled different. Oh, and I'm a girl. I'm a mid twenties something, southern gal with a  passion for the outdoors, Key West sunsets, cold beers, and Labrador retrievers. I was born in Wilmington, NC and moved to the Charlotte area when I was a young child. I currently live in a small town about an hour south of Charlotte with my husband, David. I'm the gal who writes this blog!

David and I met when I was a freshman in high school. David was a senior. We've been together over ten years. We were engaged in 2008 at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, NY. We've traveled to over 10 states together throughout the years. We built our first home together in 2009. Welcomed our first "baby" the same year and we were married in the fall of 2010.

In my spare time I enjoy crafting and trying DIY projects around my home. I garden in the summers and my motto is... you can every have too many flowers! I love taking pictures and long walks at dusk. I love to read on my patio in the afternoons with a bottle glass of wine. I'm obsessed with my Dog, Bronx and he is probably more spoiled than some children! I've never met a pair of shoes I didn't like. I'm short, frumpy, and pale. I'm working on becoming more comfortable with my body - like any woman I see mostly flaws when I look into the mirror. I usually have the energy of a two year old and I am always on the go.

I'm a southern belle down to the bone! I love my sweet tea, country music, late nights on the tail gate, watching the wind blow through the wheat fields, and sipping muscadine wine on my back porch watching the lightening bugs dance through the night...but I'm not above getting dressed up and throwin' on a pair of heels for a night out in the city!

I'm honest and sometimes very blunt, which has helped me get through life but has also helped me stick my foot in my mouth more than once.

I work as an office coordinator for a medical office in our town and David teaches in the next county over. David coaches high school baseball as well as American Legion Baseball and if you haven't figured this out already....I'm the Coach's Wife. :)

This blog is my virtual scrapbook of our lives events as well as a personal journal to document special things and feelings in my life. Come back soon!
