Welcome to Ruthanne's Raindrops!

The above photo was taken by myself when I was in Utah this summer. There was a huge storm rolling in over the mountains...it was pretty awesome!


Well, I'm Ruthanne and I am senior this year! I named my blog Ruthanne's Raindrops in the beginning since I just liked the way it sounded :) After thinking about it though, it really fits me and where I'm at in my life. Since I am a senior I will be starting so many new things this year. I like the idea that rain and water is seen as sort of a cleansing, new, fresh beginning, kinda like how graduating will be. Also, for my Lifestyle Change project I will be using only glass water bottles instead of plastic...which may be a challenge since I do like my plastic water bottles! Along with that, water is such a HUGE part of our planet. It's so important to nearly everything in our environment. It all seems to tie into together for me and I am excited to start blogging!
