The Bachelorette Season Premiere

It's hard to believe that another season of The Bachelorette is already underway! Des Hartsock had her heart broken on The Bachelor by Sean Lowe. But in Sean's defense, he almost had no choice but to send her home. Des' brother was a real jerk to him and wanted no part of Des finding love on the show. I imagine that his tune has changed since she's now the star of the show, or if it hasn't, then Des' suitors are going to be in for a wild ride!

Now onto last night's episode... To be honest, I wasn't impressed with the guys at all. But I'm usually not. It typically takes a couple weeks before I like a lot of them. There are always one or two standouts, though. For me, it was Drew, the digital marketing analyst from Arizone. He just seemed genuine and normal!! What a concept!

I also liked Ben, the entrepreneur from Dallas who has the little boy, Brody. He received the first rose, too, but it looks like Ben is the source of some drama this season, so my feelings for him might change.

I'm so glad Des sent Jonathan home before the rose ceremony! When he first got out of the limo, I thought he seemed decent, but all of that changed within about two seconds. He is a nut case! He wouldn't let up on the fact that he wanted Des to go to the fantasy sweet with him! Definitely not cool.

And what was up with the dud who high-fived her when he got out of the limo?! Not the way to treat a lady. At all. I think worst of all, though, was the guy who just didn't wear a shirt. He is not as good-looking as he thinks he is. 

It'll be interesting to see if any other guys make a good impression in the coming weeks. But as of now, I'm rooting for Drew. I'm also trying my best not to find out about any spoilers this season. It seems like just typing "Bachelorette" into Google can end up giving you all the information about who is picked! That has happened to me in the past, and it kind of ruins the whole experience of watching the show! I'd love to hear who everyone else likes this season! 

A Little Bit About Me

It's been about a month since I started this blog, and I realized that it's time to formally introduce myself. Plus, there's a great thing happening at Kelly's Korner today: a Singles linky party! I thought this would be a great way to tell a little more about myself. 

I'm 28 and single. I haven't dated a lot, but I've also been pretty picky. I'm looking for a guy who's driven and has goals, but who is also family-oriented and loves Jesus! That's not too much to ask for, is it?! ;) Of course, that's just the short list, but those are my main concerns. 

I've lived in FL my whole life. I'm definitely open to living in another state someday, so if the right guy lives somewhere else, that's fine! I'm really close to my family (which is the main reason I've stayed in FL so long). My parents live about 10 minutes away from me, and my brother and I were actually roommates for a little while before he moved to Dallas. I have a master's degree in business and work in marketing/communications. I enjoy cooking, being outdoors, traveling, running, and of course... shopping! I also love country music and reality TV shows, like The Bachelor! Oh, and I'm 5'8", so I'd appreciate a taller guy! ;)

All of these photos are of me and my family. My brother is single, too! He's 25, a pilot, and lives in Dallas. If you'd like to know anything else, just ask! I love meeting new people!

Excited about Mondays!

So, I'm crazy, right? Mondays...exciting? Well, yes. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge fan of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. I have watched these shows from the start and still keep up with lots of the people who were on them. I'm most excited about this Monday, January 7, because the new bachelor is going to be my very favorite, I just know it! Sean Lowe was a contestant on the last season of The Bachelorette (surprise, surprise), but he is one of those guys who just don't seem to exist anymore. Watch the show Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC and you'll see what I mean!
