I’m kind of in love with my middle name. A few other things I’m in love with: the color pink, chocolate, plush blankets, and laughing…a lot.
I’m a podcast listener, book reader, fair-weather 5K runner, and lover of Jesus. The best compliment I’ve ever received is being called a Human Ray of Sunshine. I spend most my days trying to convince people that Slytherin is the strongest Hogwarts house and that iced mocha is my blood type.
My favorite people are my family and my boyfriend Derek, who has baby blue eyes that will stop you in your tracks. Luckily, he doesn’t mind that I stare at him <3
I firmly believe that time and Taylor Swift can heal all wounds, the importance of chips and queso cannot be understated, and you can learn something new every day.

I went to Zumba class tonight. I hadn’t been to my Wednesday night class in a few weeks, so I was GETTIN. IT. I was rocking my sweet, sweet dance moves, and you would have thought that I was the next contestant on America’s Got Talent. It was in the middle of the class while watching…
So here we are in July, making it over a full month since I blogged. I did some looking, and June 2017 is actually the only month since having my blog that I haven’t written. That’s life…sometimes you blog, and sometimes you don’t. Now, as my fingers are furiously typing, it feels like it does…
“He must become greater, I must become less.” In church this morning, this verse was referenced. As we continued through the service, I kept looking back at it, and circled it a few times. For some reason, I was drawn to this common verse that is quite often used. For me, this means that to…
Second weigh in of the second weight loss challenge today. The scale read 212. That marks 30 pounds. Thirty wasn’t the number goal (that’s 42). 212 wasn’t the weight goal either (that’s 200). But it’s 30. Pounds. And I don’t mean to brag (well maybe I do), but that’s an accomplishment that I’m incredibly proud…
A few things… 1) I have 11 draft blog posts. I didn’t want to edit or expand on ANY of them, so here I am. 2) I wanted to write this in my backyard, with my party lights on and my “Blogging Day” coffee cup filled with Gatorade. But then I opened my fridge and…
Yaaay tag posts! This one was kind of fun on youtube, so I just decided to do it 🙂 A – Author I’ve Read the Most Of Julia Quinn B – Best Sequel Ever The Golden Lily, Bloodlines Series C – Currently Reading Two by Two, Nicholas Sparks D – Drink of Choice While Reading…
This morning, I was up early…we’re talking way early, about 5:45 AM. Not my favorite thing in the world to do, but it was for a good reason. Church! I got up, and I kid you not, before I even went to the bathroom, I went to my kitchen and poured some coffee into my…
This past weekend, I went home with my mom to stay with my dad and see my grandparents. Two years later and that still feels weird to say. Sidenote: My parents have been “geographically separated” for two years so I have two homes (three counting my own house) until dad retires in 89 days and they’re…
Honestly, I could leave this post with the title and it would accurately relay what the content would be about. But what’s the fun in that?? As you could ascertain from my most recent post, I. Did. So. Well. I hit my halfway point on my weight loss and WON my weight loss challenge!!!! That…
