What To Expect

I am very excited for this blog! I have never pictured myself as a blogger before, so this is definitely a new experience! 

I am usually a pretty reserved girl, but after I meet someone and get to know them I can talk up a storm! Regardless of being reserved, I love meeting new people and learning about them. I love stories and I believe everyone’s story is special and inspirational. I think there is something new to learn each day and without story telling we would not be able to improve and move forward in our own lives. We can all learn something from other people’s stories as well as our own. 

I can’t wait to share my stories and read other’s stories, too! 🙂

A Little Bit About Me

For my first post, I thought it would be appropriate to share a little bit about myself. 

My name is Whitney! I am from a small town in southwestern Minnesota. I grew up on a farm and absolutely loved it! After high school, I attended Minnesota West Community and Technical College in my hometown. I cheered there for the Blue Jays football team. I now go to school at Southwest Minnesota State University completing my Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and minoring in Management! This is my last semester and as a senior, I have been blessed with the best roommates thus far. My experience at Southwest Minnesota State is not one I would change for the world. I love the small town atmosphere, reminds me of home. It is far enough away from home, but close enough to visit whenever I get homesick. When I visit home, I visit my mom and dad. It is very important for me to visit as often as I can because I am an only child.

Concerning jobs, I have worked at  a locally owned retail store called Main Street Kids, in downtown Worthington, MN. I have worked there since my junior year of high school. We sell maternity and kids formal apparel. I love developing relationships with the customers. My favorite part is helping them make decisions. Along with Main Street Kids, I work in the Southwest Marketing Advisory Center (SMAC). Here, I am an account executive. I help clients develop business plans, marketing plans, and assist them with any other specific needs that pertain to their business.

Things I love:

My cat Fluffy, sunsets, star gazing, God, movies, reading articles and watching the news, exercising. The thing I love the most is hanging out with my friends and family. I am very grateful to have the people that I do in my life. I don’t know where I would be without them. 

A few of my favorites:

Food: steak and mashed potatoes and gravy.

TV Channels: Discovery, National Geographic, TLC, and History.

Sports: Baseball and Hockey, Football, and Racing.

Quote: “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.” 

Stay tuned for the next blog. 🙂
