Good Morning Friends,
I won’t pretend that I am a big “influencer” that has a million questions always hitting my DM’s. I do get a few that I hit on my stories now and then but I have never actually typed them out for you that read my blog.
Some of these questions are ever changing, and some of them are really nobodies business but I will answer them as politically as possible!
Let’s get started.
Brandons Family
I casually mentioned once Brandon’s family was from a cult. Which ask any of them it is, but you guys my know it as Polygomy or the Kingstons. This is the most asked question ever, everyone is so fascinated with this and I got of shrugged it off because I really didn’t want to piss of any of his family member who actually lived this life. Most of them have been open about talking about it, but it really really is a shitty cult full of really shitty people.
So Brandons mom got out at 15 when she married out of it. Her whole upbringing is a very sad and horrific story I hope she writes down for me to share one day. She’s really inspiring. Anyway she left and most of his aunts and uncles also are out. He has a few family members still a part of it. The stories his family shares are so mind blowing, and the fact it all goes on right here in our backyard just blows my mind. Of course there are some amazing humans in the cult but there are really huge pieces of shit that run that cult.
My family
Do you have siblings?
Yes I have two sisters and a brother. I fall into the middle. Adrienne is my older sis who lives in California with her husband and sweet baby girl. Blake lives up the street from me with his son. My little sister lives just a few lights away from me as well with her husband and cute pups. All of us girls are introverts, and for some weird reason my brother is some social mutant. He literally will make friends with anyone. Or fight anyone. Either way.
Blake was a dick and gave us a scare two years ago. He had a brain aneurysm, and scared the literal crap out of us. That whole night was pretty terrifying. The ICU sucks, and we weren’t sure if this was going to kill him or not.
My mom and dad live 10 minutes away and we are always over at their house harassing them. They conveniently live across the street from Brandon’s mom and step dad.
Emotions
I get asked all the time why am I so emotional. Sue me I just have so many feelings lol. You guys I cannot help it. Before Aria I was an emotional robot, so maybe my body is making up for it. Disney movies kill me, songs get me, soldiers, babies and animals are the main heartstring tuggers.
I apologize all the time for my tears…I AM SORRY I AM A FREAKING BABY. I agree.
Aria
I do often get asked how I knew I was ready for Aria. I can tell you the exact moment I knew I was ready. We were in our town home showering and talking about work and stuff. It hit me, this feeling of calm and peace and the want to just start trying. That is how I knew.
Photography
I fell into photography after starting my blog. My first few years of blogging…omg the photos are horrifying. I over edited, over photoshopped and it is so embarrassing.
The more I got into the blogging the more I got into photography. We still have a started camera, I am saving for a big bad A camera. Right now I am shooting on an old freaking canon rebel but it’s working for us now. I love taking pictures. It brings me so much joy and satisfaction.
Right now I am just starting out doing it as a job. I have shot pics for a few families, and friends. It is so much fun.
I’m currently writing my memoir in poetry form so that it isn’t as hard to digest. People can read it a poem at a time. It may only ever be published for my people, but that way you will have my story.
I’m about 80 poems in so far.
