Blog Star: Hi, I'm English!

^And that is the serious truth.  English.  English Brownderson.  Okay, that last name isn't real, but it's what el hubbo and I have called ourselves since the wedding day, and it fits perfectly.  The English part is legit.



I found the Mrs. Monologues blog hop party through one of my favorite blogs, LWLH.  And now that I've been introduced to Mrs. Monologues, I have yet another wonderful site to add to my daily reads.  Shweet.

A tad about myself: I am a Minnesota housewife to my military husband.  We are currently stationed in Germany, and I honestly don't know if we'll ever go back to the States, at least on a permanent basis.  I/we absolutely adore it over here.

This is us, February 2012.  Even better, this is us in Garmisch, Germany.
I don't have children.  I don't do crafts.  I don't really cook.  I have no fashion sense.  So what do I even have to talk about?  Let's see...


I like to talk about my dogs a lot.  Sass [left] and Ninja [right] are the best cuddlers EVER.


I'm a huge fan of photography.  I'm not a pro, and still learn a lot through trial and error, but it's a huge enjoyment to pick up my camera and try to capture the world from my point of view.  [Above image is from Cherry Grove Beach, South Carolina]


We enjoy traveling a lot, and I try to document everything I can.  This pic is from a recent trip to Venice, Italy.  I got very fat there.  The food is delicious.  The stairs became my enemy.


I love reading.  I usually dedicate Sundays to a book review of my latest novel obsession.

Hope that helps figure me out a little!  If you'd like to see more, including some of my favorite/most personal blog posts, just check the About Me button on the side bar.  Please let me know that you've visited so I may return the favor!  I'd enjoy making some new friends :)

    Would love for you to check out my own Blog Stars post if you have the time. I have fur-babies that are cuddlers too. Yours are too sweet.

    My husband was born in Nuremburg, Germany on an Army base. We are hoping to go back and visit the friends his parents made there who are like family to them. Good luck with everything.
