I'm Sarah. I'm a 21 year old that decided to start a blog as I stared in a mirror plucking my first gray, albeit silver, hair and wondering how am I going to remember who I am and the life I have without some sort of documentation. It hit me, I've followed several people on YouTube and blogs for the past 5 years and can recall historical events upon their life but lack the knowledge of my very own. Cue the big light bulb above my head.
Although I could go the old paper and pencil way of sharing private and sometimes downright embarrassingly stupid moments of my life, it is 2013 and it seems normal to talk to people I don't know via interwebs. So I shall begin with introducing myself to you and why I chose my name.
I've decided the ironic and cheesy name of Searching for Sarah because that's truly what I am doing. I am soul searching. Finding my calling. Jumping off the cliff. Or whatever way you want to put it...
Although I know it takes an entire lifetime to truly know who you are, it's the little things that help mold that foundation.
I haven't devoted the entirety of this blog to be specific, more of bits and bobs slathered in one place.
So let the introduction begin!
As stated, I'm Sarah!
I am a very proud owner of two awesome fur babies. Beware, I foresee lots of posts in the future...
This is Maddix! He is my man loathing mutt. He's a 8 year old German Shepherd Beagle mix rescue and is the very first dog I have ever had. I received him after begging my mother and using the excuses of missing my older sister when she moved to college and being lonely. I was neither. This little guy has made me the animal lover I am today. He taught me more than just responsibility. But I'm sure we'll add on that later..
Then you have Grayson. My 3 year old Golden Retriever. This was my dream dog. This is the dog you want to find when you need some laughs. We have promptly named him the "clearance puppy" because he was the last of the litter and the breeder just wanted him gone so knocked the price. Now don't be fooled by the label, he is a very intelligent dog, just does some unintelligent things sometimes. Regardless, he is well loved and the baby of the group. But unlike Maddix, Grayson could make the meanest person in the world fall in love with him.
I am currently in a long term and recently long distance relationship with an amazing man, Daniel. I guess you could say Dan and I are serious, I mean we did buy our first beautiful home together last year. I think that classifies as serious, right? We also call Grayson, the only dog we raised together, our son. We aren't those people, just love our dogs. Daniel moved to Texas shortly after we bought our house to follow up his career in the oil industry and to help our dream of becoming debt free. More on that...
At 18 years old, I started a YouTube channel following my trials of becoming debt free. (I'm still happily vlogging just on a bit of a hiatus.) When Dan and I decided to buy a house we knew that becoming debt free would be the biggest commitment we would ever have to take but also the most rewarding. So that's what we're doing! Although we are not even close to making a dent into becoming debt free, we have never been happier. I admire Daniel though. He bought a house and a couple months later moved so he could pay off the house to better enjoy it. In November it will be a year since he's lived in Texas.

Lastly, what you need to know about me. I am a frugal gal. I will find every way imaginable to stretching my dollar the extra mile. I am also an organizational and clean freak Nazi. I used to be that friend that would stay up all night organizing and cleaning my friend's room at sleepovers. Parents loved me, friends not so much. Speaking of Friends, you know the tv show? Yeah, I'm obsessed! I have the gift of telling you what season, what episode, and what happens within 5 seconds of hearing the show. I love all things Pinterest. And recently became obsessed with wine.
I am excited to start this fun documentation. It is more for me but follow along as my embarrassing moments may lead to your hilarity.
