The start of something new…
I’ve been saying for the past couple of years “I should start a blog”. Simply for the fact of jotting down the moments of my life. Within the past 3 years, my life has changed so drastically. I’ve married my best friend and navigated making a home for ourselves in Tulsa Oklahoma. Developed a career for myself that I am proud of and excited to continue to advance in. We have traveled on many trips and most recently, we have joined the world of parenthood.
All of these are core memories that I wish I could go back in time and notarize in a journal of such. Something to archive the excitement, the fear, the absolute bliss of growing and navigating these amazing times of my life. So I’m starting now. No longer will I look back on a memory and wish “I should have written that down”.
I plan to share my experience learning to balance career advancement, the world of being a new mother, remembering to be a supportive partner to my husband, and finding time for all the things I enjoy for myself like reading a good book, planning a great vacation and cooking a delicious meal. I hope that if you’ve made it this far you can relate and will enjoy sticking around for the ride.
Sincerely,
Melissa Fouts ❤️
A little background information about myself, I am 29 years old and an Oklahoma transplant. I was born and raised originally from Anchorage Alaska. In 2013 after graduating high school, my parents decided to move to southeast Kansas to be more centrally located and closer to their parents. In the fall of 2013, I attended a small, division II school in Alva. After graduating in December 2017, I moved east to Tulsa and started my career in Marketing.
Taken at Beluga Point on the Seward Highway outside of Anchorage.
During my time in Alva, I met my now husband, Collin. We have 2 dogs named Boone and Brady who are the biggest love bugs. This past summer we welcomed our first child, Nolan, and couldn’t be any more blessed.
We love all things travel and adventure whether that being a giant family vacation trip, a weekend getaway to Branson, or a 2 week adventure to Alaska to visit my best friend. A large portion of this blog will be featuring the details of our many travels over the past couple of years in the hope of it being useful for anyone who might be planning a similar trip.
I will be posting once a week on Sunday afternoons!
Get in touch.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
