about me

so...this is me:

So where did this blog come from?

Well, way back in the day, at the peak of Myspace's awesomeness, I wrote a blog post on the really lame form of a blogging section. It was all about my professed hatred for "rolly backpacks". It was pretty much the single most amazing piece of literature I have ever produced. In fact, I will never pass the level of awesome of that particular Myspace blog post. It was beautiful. Too bad it suffered a painful death when I deleted my Myspace for the first of 5 other following occasions.

A year passed and I heard whisperings of something called "Blogger" followed by a word that I am pretty sure resembled "awesome". Since I like words that sound like "awesome", I decided to give it a shot.

And here I am. My blog follows from when I was 18 and waiting for Ted, while he was on his mission to Madagascar. To him coming home, us dating and then getting married in September of 2008.

this blog is a lifestyle blog where i document our adventures. we were both born and raised in arizona, and while we love being here with family, we both yearn to see new places. we love to travel, and we love trying new restaurants. we love taking photos, and i really love vintage and thrifting. we love finding awesomespice places in mesa, az and then sharing them with you. i hope this can be a place where you find inspiration for your own adventures!

happy reading! stay awesomespice :)

I have no idea who you are, but I find you to be extremely inspiring! (how did i find you, you might ask?) my brother in law's sisters are the beautiful girls that just modeled some headbands for you. I love your headbands, your photography, you being you. I love your fashion, your creativity, your advice on being yourself... thank you. I'm glad i found your blog. I'll be the first to admit that i've spent an embarrassing amount of time checking your blog out.

I came across your blog about a year ago and lost it. Last night at a girls' night my friend mentioned it again and about fell off my seat because for the life of me couldn't remember the blog name.

So glad I found you again.

You used to sell cute headbands and things on a site that was not etsy...I think...if you did can you let me know what it was? j.c.humrich@gmail.com
