For the Newbies

Oh, hello there!

I've been seeing some new folks around here lately (couldn't possibly have anything to do with the ginormous giveaway that I'm a part of, could it?), so I figured it's time for a good old get to know Amy post. 

It might be hard to dig up some new material, since we had this post not too long ago, but I'll see what I can do. 

Sweet Home Santa Barbara is the definition of a lifestyle blog. In its year and a half of existence  it's gone through about as many phases as seasons in a year. 

But according to Santa Barbara weather, that would be 2. 

Basically, as my life has changed, so has this blog. And as I've gotten to know myself better, bloggy here has gotten more consistent. 

My favorite thing to blog about is my faith. In the last year and a half, my relationship with Jesus has become the center of my life. So naturally, that's going to take the front seat in Blogland, too. 

In the past few months, I've been switching gears from cooking to fashion. 

Hoping to get my butt back in the kitchen to try out some more recipes, but for now it seems like my passion is in taking seriously professional quality outfit pics. And getting all sorts of hashtag happy with #ootd.

Now don't all jump at once to ask me to schedule a photo session for you. 

I'll bring the iPhone, you bring the weird lighting. And before you know it I'll have some of these top notch quality photos for you, too!

I also like to blog about my adventures with running, the love/hate relationship that is predominantly love these days. 

But back last year when my good friend running landed me in this lovely boot?

Well, it's safe to say it wasn't as much of a loving relationship then.

I also like to travel, and have some pretty lofty goals, both nationally and internationally. 

Any new readers happen to be loaded and want to foot the travel bill? 

No? Well, a girl can dream. 

Just like I can dream about my future husband, and how wonderful we will look together:

One day, one day those dreams will come true. 

But until then, this girl's got her heart set on the big Man upstairs. And I'd say that relationship's going pretty darn well for me ;)

Well, enough about me. Tell me about you!
