hi! 

welcome to my blog. i've wanted to jump back into the blogging world for several months now. not because i think i am an excellent writer or that i think i'll get one million followers. i've wanted to start it...because even though i'm not an excellent writer, i love to write. and sometimes, it's the best way for me to communicate. 

if we haven't met, hi, i'm lenna. and very recently just became lenna chapa. on february seventh, i married my best friend, peter lewis. i spent most of my childhood in central illinois. besides three years in texas due to the coast guard moving us around, i was born and raised in the midwest. and even though it's not the ocean, or mountains, it'll always hold a special place in my heart. cornfields, cattle and small town festivals are where its at! but, i'm no longer a small town girl. when i married peter, i left family, friends, and everything that had been familiar to me and followed him to the beautiful denver, colorado area. everyday i get to see the beautiful rocky mountains, and every day i fall more in love with them and their Creator. i love the variety you get out here. how one moment you can be shopping in a massive mall, or sitting in stop and go traffic, but in thirty minutes or less, you could be driving straight up into the mountains. 

i'm a believer and follower of Jesus Christ. i was blessed to grow up in a christian home. so i have never known a day where Jesus wasnt being praised or pursued. 

i married one of the most driven and passionate people that i had/have ever met. he loves deeply, works tirelessly, and dreams with no limits or boundaries. 

family...means the world to me. you can imagine how hard it was to leave my parents, brother, and sisters when i moved. but here in colorado, i gained two more parents, two more brothers, four more sisters, and became an aunt. i know, i am so incredibly blessed. 

my likes/loves span from heels, lipstick, shopping, cooking, cleaning, organizing (google docs/calendar/sheets for the win!), to exercising, basketball, babies, tea...dark chocolate and raspberries. 

some call me eccentric and little dramatic...but i find even the littlest accomplishment so exciting. peter calls me his princess and i am one hundred and ten percent okay with that. 

vision for the blog: 

well, i don't have it all nailed down quiet yet. it could be photos. it could be something that's been on my heart, it could be a keeper recipe i tried or created in the kitchen...who knows. 

i'm just glad to be here...and glad to have you here. 

xoxo,
