Who I am

I am: German, Welsh, Irish, Native American, and a mixture of a few others.....

This week I started watching Lisa Kudrow's new show called "Who Do You Think You Are". It was so cool to see her learn more about her own Heritage. The past few weeks I have taken more of an interest in it. I am thankful because my Grandma, and Aunt Sheila are so good about keeping up to date with our Geneology on the Bruns' side of the family. My Grandma and I are going to start working on it this week actually. And I can NOT wait! I remember, last Summer, going to a Family Reunion in Ludlow, Missouri. The only people I knew there were my parents, cousin Daniel, and Grandma, Grandpa, Grandad, and Sheila. It was neat because these were all my cousins on my Great Grandpa "Grandad" side. I had NO idea at how big my family is! Recently, my Dad's cousin, whom I have met a few times, found me on facebook, and because we started talking again, I have been able to connect with so many of my cousin's on my Dad's side of the family! It is so cool!

Blessed

... I have been so blessed the past few years... I have been blessed with an AMAZING family, Friends, Career.

My Family - is truly AMAZING. They have ALWAYS been there for me no matter what. Even when I was out making not so good choices, they still loved me unconditionally and were there for me. And because of that, I know I am in a much better place today. They are my rock, my foundation, my everything. I love them...







Friends: Friendships have always been important to me. When I was younger, I had a rough time making friends. I can remember years of loneliness, and sadness. I always wanted to feel excepted by my Peers. As I have gotten older, especially being in my early 20's, I feel as though I have created those lasting friendships that I have ALWAYS yearned for. I love my friends like they are a 2nd family to me.

I want...

.... to make the most out of my life. I want to enjoy everyday as it comes. I want to succeed. I want to be happy. I want to know everything. I want to be a walking dictionary. I want to be friends with everyone. I want to have a big family of my own someday. I want to spend as much time as possible with my family now. I want to learn how to drive a motorcycle. I want to skydive. I want to be able to speak German fluently.. again. I want to see the world. I want to know everything about my ancestors, and to take their advice (from their journals). I want to see the Atlantic Ocean ( I have only seen the Pacific.. seeing the Atlantic from an airplane does NOT count). I want to learn new songs on my violin. I want to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I want to write a book ( no idea about the topic just yet). I want to achieve all my goals, and dreams. I want to have a ton of grandchildren someday. I want to sing in front of 500 people. I want to fly in a hot air balloon. I want to do so many other things..


I will.... make the most out of my life, and enjoy everyday as it comes. I will succeed, and be happy. I (you can't be friends with everyone) will be charitable to everyone I meet, even if they hurt me. I will have a big family of my own someday, and will spend as much time as I can with the one I have now. I will learn how to drive a motorcycle, and skydive. I am practicing my GERMAN again, so I will be able to speak it fluently (not just be able to read it, and recognize it when someone is speaking). I will see the world! I will learn as much as I can about my ancestors, and learn from their experiences and mistakes based on their journal entries. I will swim in the Atlantic, Baltic, Nile, Mediterranean, (all the big and small bodies of water) I will learn more songs on my violin. I will serve a mission for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I will write a book, sing in front of 500 people, achieve all my goals and dreams, have a ton of grandchildren, fly in a hot air balloon, and do so many other things.

We only have one life, and I want to make the most of it... starting.. NOW.

It's FINALLY March!!!


This means that Spring is almost here! And I will be 22 in 2 months now! So weird to think about. I know that this Summer, and Spring are going to be pretty amazing. So many new and exciting things! yay!


Life this month was sooooo busy, I have been learning so much at the salon, and slowly but surely my clientele has been growing. :) This week a few old friends of mine are coming to see me. Which makes me happy, AND they are also telling their friends and family about me. Our salon recently switched to a new color line called Lakme. It is from Barcelona, Spain. I was a bit intimidated by the change at first, but was excited to hear that I would be learning a European color line!! My colleague and I were able to take one of the educators out to lunch last week, he taught us so much about the line, and also did our hair! Which was a bonus!!

JOHN!!! My stellar Brother, will be back in KC in 4 weeks!! I cannot wait. Even though its only for a week, but either way, its going to be awesome.

Last Wednesday was my graduation ceremony at PMTS, it was really cool. My family and a few friends came out to show their support. It was so nice to see everyone since it had been a few months and such.

Overall, life is really good right now, and I know its only going to get better, in ALL aspects.


Ps... Sam.... you are the best!!!!!
