Who I Am

Hello friends!

My name is Kelly and welcome to my blog!

I'm a 26 year old working full time at a clinic in my hometown of Fargo, North Dakota. My boyfriend, Ian (who I will refer to as my Hun-Bun, or HB), currently own a house located right across the Red River in Moorhead, Minnesota. We love this area for the full grown trees, the abundance of parks and green space nearby, the proximity to downtown Fargo, and the quiet neighborhood. 

Besides working full time, I also serve part-time on the weekends at a restaurant. You may know this restaurant. It's called Applebee's and there's about a million of these mass-produced restaurants in the USA. I have worked there for the past 5 years and it's totally sucked my soul out of me but I still hang on because this is where my boyfriend and I met and fell in love. Cheesy, right? 

So, now you know I work full time and part time on the weekends. But that's not all! I un-officially graduated with an Associates in Health Information Management/Coding. I say un-officially because I am still enrolled in an online medical coding internship for the summer in which the completion will determine if I officially graduate. I am also preparing for a certification exam to be an official Registered Health Information Technician, or RHIT. This past spring I was taking 5 classes online as well as working 2 jobs, so I'm very happy to finally have somewhat of a break!

I am also a full time doggie mommy. Me and my HB Ian adopted our puppy child in March from MUSHR, the Minnesotan Unwanted Siberian Husky Rescue. Max is a playful 1 year old Husky/German Shepherd mix that has lots of energy and still finds a way to be absolutely adorable when he's being an absolute rascal! He is the sweetest and most mild-mannered dog on the planet (maybe I'm biased) and he fills our home with so much joy. Just look at that face!

So besides from all that, I love filling my (very little) free time with cooking, baking, reading, DIY projects (basically being domestic) and occasionally going out and seeing some live music when I get the chance. I love getting outdoors in the sunshine! Also, I'm pretty much addicted to HGTV, the Food Network Channel, and Game of Thrones on HBO. Good luck trying to tell me something important when those are on.

The idea behind the blog is basically to share my insights, recipes, crafts, and projects with you! The 'Green Sprout' comes from the many ideas that start out as little tiny 'idea-sprouts' inside my head, and the blog is an outlet for me to finish, expand, and perfect these ideas. Many of the ideas I share with you are frugal, earth-friendly, and good for your health!

Thanks for stopping by! This is my first go as a blogger, and I appreciate any advice or feedback you can give!
