Within the past year or so I have gotten so into podcasts. Especially with long commutes and traffic they became sooo much better than music and it feels like chatting with a friend. Now, whenever I'm driving somewhere or walking around I have a podcast playing. There are two main categories of podcasts I listen to... Social/Chatty lifestyle and Faith based podcasts. BTW I use Apple music to listen to all my podcasts (:  Social/Chatty Lifestyle: -Gals on the Go Gotg is a podcast by m… Read more

To say this past weekend was incredible would be a major understatement. Y'all I LOVE my friends. They gave me the best weekend. The whole weekend I just kept thinking how lucky I was that these are my people and how they would take out a weekend (or a few) of their busy lives to hang out and celebrate my almost marriage! We laughed all weekend and reminisced on the sweetest memories. I've never felt so loved by a group of people. I want to get married every month bc I want more… Read more

Hey Hey friends!!! Long time no chat!!! Life is crazy and oh so good. I have seen God's hand so much in my life the past few weeks and I have seen Him mold me and humble me. I have such a long ways to go but it is so sweet to see all He has in store for me. One of the things I have been learning is about complaining. I have zero reason to complain about anything. God has provided more than enough for me and I am so grateful for each and every gift. I'm learning (key word learning) … Read more

Engagement is such a weird time. We decided to do a "short" engagement. Our engagement is a total 5 and 1/2 months. Which I think is on the shorter end of most engagements. I honestly have no earthly idea why people wait longer than that. That seems miserable. The beginning of engagement was super exciting. We were securing vendors, locations, trying on dresses and deciding what we wanted our day to be like. All of these things are super exciting and a lot of fun to plan. It&… Read more

Hey Hey friends!!! Let's get reaaaal. I really cannot believe I graduated college over a year ago. College was truly the best years of my life and I could never express my gratitude more. This past year has been a complete whirlwind. For your whole life you and all of your friends are in the same stage of life.. school.. school and more school. Then boom you graduate. My friends were still in undergrad, going to grad school, getting real jobs, not getting real jobs.. everyone was all… Read more

You've got to start somewhere and the basics is always the best.  Your closet needs interchangeable pieces that can go with everything.  The first item is a pair of jeans. Like good jeans.  I have several pairs of these jeans. I got them at least three years ago and they all look brand new. I have a dark wash, two lighter wash, black and white. They're all so good. I would start off with getting the dark wash pair because it is easier to dress up and down and is more flattering. T… Read more
