Ben and I met on a warm night in May of 2018. I could have never imagined that the cute, shy guy I sat beside on the patio would be my future husband! But this blog isn’t about that first night, it’s about our engagement and how he popped the question. So here goes! Leading […]

I’m pretty blessed to have a job that gives me a legit Adult Christmas Break – I’ve been relaxing and pouring all of this extra time into my blog and planning for the year ahead. Every year, the last two weeks of December are always a blur of shoveling food into my mouth, rarely leaving […]

At the time I met one of my oldest friends, we were in the 10th grade. She wore eyeliner, band T-shirts and vans. I had a country accent that stood out like a weed in a garden at my new school and two pairs of cowboy boots in my closet. She was nice to me, […]
