Hi, I am McKenzie and I live in
Southern Utah; St George to be exact. I grew up in Southern Utah and enjoy the
beautiful scenery that surrounds me daily. I would say I am very fortunate to
have been raised in such a beautiful place. I manage our family owned dry cleaning
business full time and serve tables at night to bring in a little extra cash. I
thoroughly enjoy what I do for work, and hope to be able to take over the
business within the next 5 years.
My family is the most important
thing in my life and always has been. I am fortunate to have been blessed with
such a wonderful family. My father, Lynn, has taught me that you need to be a
hard worker so you can take care of yourself and your family. He taught me the importance
of understanding your financial being and how to live life on a budget. I think
the most important thing he has taught me is how a man should love a woman. My
mother, Marilyn, has taught me the importance of being spiritual and to rely on
our father above. She has taught me the important role a mother has as her
children grow and how to care for them. She taught me the importance of being
confident and striving for the goals I have set in my life. My sister, Torie,
has taught me the importance of laughter, love, and family. Through thick and
thin, family will be the people who are always there for you. She has taught me
to love an individual no matter to circumstances because that is who they are.
She has taught me that laughter is such an important part of being happy. She
has taught me to be strong and never back down. She has taught me the
importance to seek help when it is needed. My brother, Levi, has taught me that
no matter what to always be there for the ones we love. He has taught me the importance
of being who I am. He has taught me the importance of a how a man should treat
a woman. He has taught me the importance of respect, courage, strength,
happiness, faith, and love. I am blessed
to have the family member I do. I can honestly say, I don’t know where I would
be in this life without them.
I started blogging because
everyone else was doing it honestly and because I wasn’t close to all of my
family members (aunts, uncles, and cousins). It was a way that we could keep
each other updated with our lives and the fun things we do. I found passion and
love for blogging. I have found it is an outlet for creativity and emotion.
Plus, all of the wonderful bloggers that I have learned and grown with is an
added bonus to this fun blogging world. I have thoroughly enjoyed the direction
I have taken my blog in the last 10 months and I can’t wait to see what the future
holds for me in the blogging world.
Now, for some random
and fun facts about me:
My birthday is August
28, which makes me a Virgo; also I share a birthday with Jack Black, Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes, and Jake
Owen to name a few.
My favorite colors
are Turquoise, Green, Coral, and Purple.
I am a country girl
at heart, therefore, I love country music.
Being outside is one
of my favorite joys; from being at the lake, to hiking, the beach, swimming,
snorkeling, exploring, walking, or just taking in the sunshine. Its where I’d
rather be.
I tend to lose things
all the time, like my chapstick, my phone, my car keys, and sometimes myself.
My style is kind of
all over the place, but if you shopped in my closet you would find most of my
things are bought from Buckle, Bohme, Dillard’s, Forever 21, or H&M.
I think sunrise and
sunset are the most beautiful times of the day.
My all time favorite
movie is Fried Green Tomatoes
I still remember my
very first ‘real’ boyfriend, you know the kind you buy Valentines for and hang
out during lunch. Yep, Sam, I still remember our 6th grade romance. I also,
remember dumping you for Tyler, sorry. It was fun while it lasted.
Sam and Tyler, your names haven’t been
changed, hope you’re not reading this.
I am the kind of girl
who dreams about her wedding, the dress, the future hubby, kiddos, and all the
fairytale stuff that hasn’t happened to me yet. So, till then, I’ll keep
pinning away at my Pinterest board, dreaming about the future and the someday.
I love to travel and
see new places.
