So, I’m back and more refreshed and rejuvenated than I’ve been in a very long time… what a week at the beach basking in the sun reading and relaxing will do for your nerves and stress levels! Just wanted to post an update that I promise to post my birthday celebration pictures as well as […]

Today is here — it seems like I’ve already been celebrating my birthday for a week now since Jeff took me to New York last weekend to kick-off the festivities, but today is my actual 26th birthday… I know some people don’t particularly like birthdays, but I am not one of those people. What better […]

As I embark on what is to be the 26th year of my life, I sit back and realize just how much my life has changed during these last 365 days… so many ups and downs and personal setbacks and triumphs, but I know God has a way of explaining those never-ending questions I ask […]

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!! We’re leaving on a jet plane (and yes I am singing this song as I write this!) to NEW YORK CITY AKA THE BIG APPLE!! Could I be more excited?? Absolutely not… I’ve been counting down the days until I was able to return to my favorite city and I […]

Back to my promise from last week about posting some of my favorite quotes each week — so glad I didn’t forget with all the madness that is consuming my week in preparations for New York City this weekend with my J. My topic for this post is easy: happiness. I think people tend to […]

This is the beginning of what happens to be my favorite month of the year: why you ask?? Not only do we get to celebrate Independence Day, but it’s followed by my BIRTHDAY!! Some people I know don’t necessarily like to celebrate their special day each year as they get older, but not me — […]

OK, so I have begun to notice that a lot of my recent blog posts have been dealing with subject of FOOD — is that a coincidence?? I think not!! Sure, I’ll admit it, I love food, but at the same time,I am trying to educate my blogging friends (in Nashville and beyond) about the […]

Saturday night, my lovely parents invited us over (Meg, Aaron, Jeff, and I) over for a summer-time cookout and game night… we did this a few months ago with some of our friends and couldn’t wait to let my Mom and Dad in on the fun! We headed to Murfreesboro late that afternoon and let […]

Last summer, my good friend Ryan introduced these tasty sandwiches to us at the beach, and now that it’s summer (with 90+ degree heat for the past 13 days!!), I thought this was a perfect time to indulge in this mouthwatering recipe once again… these are the easiest things in the world to make and […]

As I mentioned in a previous post, my friend Cami inspired me to keep a journal with all my favorite quotes about 3 years ago… since then, everytime I find quotes/sayings/lyrics I enjoy or speak to me, I write them down–sometimes to email to friends and family just to let them know I’m thinking about […]
