Mayra, in a nutshell.

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I wanted to start off by telling you a little bit about myself. My name is Mayra Mehrguth. I grew up in the city of La Puente, within Los Angeles county. My parents were both born and raised in Costa Rica, so I’m a Latina and tan pretty easy.

I ran around hundreds of soccer fields, kicking a soccer a ball from the ages of 4 to 21. Everyone knew me for being a soccer player and that's what I came to find my identity in. My parents played a huge role to in my development as a soccer player. All the hard work paid off and I got through college without ever having to take out a student loan. Soccer taught me to be competitive, passionate, tough, and the importance of relationships.

I married the best guy in the world. We said our “I Do’s” on December 17th 2016. Garrett and I started dating not long after we met in 2013. Garrett is something else. He’s kind, fun, passionate, driven, hard working, loving, SO smart, and SO hot. So yes, he’s got it all and I scored big time! I am living my best life because of him.

We have a dog. Her name is Grace. She’s a white 80lbs (sometimes a tad chuckier if I don’t take her on walks) Goldendoodle. She’s got some big brown eyes and she’s my favorite. We are big Grace fans and I’m praying she lives forever because no other dog could compare.

I ended up attending two different universities during my time in college. UC Santa Barbara and Azusa Pacific University. I did tons of growing up at both universities. During my time at APU is when I started to explore what a relationship with God meant and looked like.

My journey of developing into the woman God made me to be isn’t always pretty. I grow and then backslide and then grow some more, it’s messy and sometimes makes no sense, but I know I’m not alone.

I’ve been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time. Let me warn you, I am NOT a great writer. Expect typos, confusing sentences, grammar errors, all of the above. With that said, I still want to do this. I love to get my thoughts out in writing so here we go! I’ll be writing about anything and everything. I am so excited to share my life with you.
