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 listen to music pretty much nonstop. I get ready for work with music, drive to work with the radio on, listen to music through my work day, back to the radio for the drive home, in the shower, for a workout…..you get it. I’ve been listening my way through Eric Church lately (LOVE), and…
I. Love. TV. Probably more than I should. But really, how much “should” one love or not love television anyway? I own quite a few shows on DVD, and I’ve binge-watched my way through quite a few others that I don’t own on DVD. That’s probably one of my favorite past times – binge watching. Today,…
The lucky man has a daughter as his first child. —Spanish Proverb Years ago, my parents gave me a book about daughters for Christmas. Or maybe my birthday. Or Valentine’s Day. I don’t remember. That’s hardly the point. The book is full of quotes, stories, and little tidbits about parents and daughters. I keep it next…
When tragedies like Orlando strike the world, processing how to feel becomes part of the struggle of your day. At least for me it has. In the last 72 hours, I’ve experienced a full range of emotions. Pride in a community that is showing an outpouring of support amidst the chaos. Anger – at the…
Quick life update before I get to my current obsession: I finally turned my air conditioning on. I’m truly just as proud of myself as I am ashamed of myself for finally giving into the horrible summer heat that I hate. I’m house hunting. I’ve negotiated terms, found a house, perfected my imperfect signature, lost…
So, as you could gather from My Disney Favs, I LOVE Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Beauty and the Beast is also tied for my second favorite Disney movie (with The Little Mermaid). Since Disney announced they were making a live-action remake, I have been crazy excited. THEN, they cast Emma Watson aka Hermione…
A week ago, Chance (the brother) graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Marketing and minors in Political Science & Leadership Studies. Through five years of school, struggles in his personal life, and being about as involved as possible as one person can be on campus, he got to walk across that stage,…
Yesterday was Mother’s Day. I did the obligatory Facebook post complete with a picture of my mom & me. I’m not a big fan of rambling on Facebook. Every now and then I’ll have a slightly longer post (i.e. my Teacher’s Appreciation Day shoutout to my dad), but typically, I keep it short. Hence was…
Okay, everybody, this is a truth talk. Truthfully? Life gets hard sometimes. It’s confusing, and frustrating, and it’s hard to figure out! You can try, and you can go over and over things in your mind and it will never make sense, no matter how much you overthink it. So…sometimes, life gives you lemons. A…
As is evidenced by pretty much my whole life, I love Disney. It’s been somewhat apparent in these blog posts, but there can never be enough Disney, so here’s another one. I’ve been watching some Disney countdowns on youtube lately (yes, I do that), and it inspired me to write a post about some of my…
