I went to bed on the eve of our wedding with a combination of excitement and nerves. Unable to sleep, I took out my journal and I began to write. The words were pouring out of me and soon enough the happiest of tears began to stream down my face because God truly has bless […]

As our Nashville trip started to become a distant memory, we started looking forward to the holidays. I had no idea what to get Ethan and I remember stressing about it for weeks. What do y0u get someone who wants absolutely NOTHING?!? Well truth be told, I don’t even know what I ended up getting […]

What is the one tried and true way to see if your relationship is meant to last? Plan a spur of the moment road trip less than a month after you start dating. If after the 22 hours of driving in the car, being with them for  you still like the person, that is a […]

Missed part one? Start here! PART ONE: IT STARTED WITH A GIF THE FIRST DATE: Prepare yourself folks, because today’s blog post is extra special. It tells the story of my last first date ever and I couldn’t be more thrilled to share it all with you from BOTH of our perspectives 😀 It is […]
