Hello, World!

Hello out there! My name is Caitlin, and I am brand new to the blogging world! I have actually been thinking about starting a blog for a while now, but I never actually got around to putting one together. My reasoning was that I am not tech-savvy and was convinced that blogging would be way too difficult for me, and also that I am way too busy for that sort of thing. Now, I am still super busy, but I recently got engaged and wanted a place to compile all of my thoughts and crafty ideas while also planning for a DIY wedding! And voila, "The Ganache Life"!

A quick little "about me": I am a 21 year old student studying Business Management with an Art Studio minor. While my plans for the future are unknown, I have always loved the idea of starting my own business and I know  art will always be a part of my life, so I figured this combo would be the best option for me! I love to craft, sing, paint, cook, bake, read...basically, anything artsy that involves learning something new, I am there!

I recently got engaged to the best man I have ever known, named Ben. We are opposites in many ways, as I am the crafty, quiet, book-smart one while he is super friendly, funny, and outgoing, but we also have tons of similar interests and balance each other out pretty perfectly, if I do say so myself! We haven't set a date yet, but we are 70/30 leaning towards the Winter of 2012, with a possibility of Summer 2013. Although nothing is set in stone, I have tons of ideas (I have 3 different boards dedicated to wedding ideas on Pinterest, so if you're interested check it out at here). It's definitely going to be a DIY budgeted wedding, so get ready for lots of wedding posts!

Finally, I firmly believe in living life to the fullest. Laughter really is the best medicine, and there is no point in going through this one life that we are given if we aren't happy in the process! I titled this blog "The Ganache Life", because ganache is a super sweet and delicious version of chocolate that I absolutely love (more to come on what ganache actually is later)! I love to bake sweet things and try to live life as sweetly as possible, therefore this blog will hopefully be representative of the sweet (ganache) life I hope everyone can have for themselves!
