250 words, day one of thrity one

A quick intro here: I'm going to try and take on this 'blog everyday in May' challenge.

Why? I don't know...

But for some reason it seems like a good idea, so I'm going with that.

First topic as given by the challenger...

250 word Autobiography:

"I have always had an eye for fashion.."

I was born in the small town of Potchefstroom in the North West, South Africa.  A few years later I was followed by my adorable little sister, and a move to The Big City... Johannesburg where I lived till I was 24.

Woah that sounded a little dry, so let's pick up the pace. In this said big city I experienced the awkward late primary and early high school years (they said I'd grow out of it... they lied). I fantasized about becoming a famous Hollywood actress, which in later years changed into fantasizing about becoming a famous New York fashion designer. 

So of course, I studied Journalism at the University of Johannesburg. I dated a boy that was shorter than me for over three years. I graduated and worked in admin and in fashion. I loved it. Then I quit both jobs. Was unemployed for 3 months, which was interesting. Started working as a travel agent. Being a travel agent only made me want to travel more so I left it all behind at the age of 24 to move to Hanoi Vietnam and teach English. 

People said I'd probably meet my husband because I was so intensely single at this time. I laughed and said it would probably be an American. My sarcastic prediction turned out to be correct. I am now married to an American, living in Spokane, WA, nobody is more surprised and pleased than me. So far, so good by the undeserving grace and love of God.
