A Special Place in my Heart

“Don’t forget I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” 

Isla loves her daddy! 

Yes, she is spoiled with love & attention

First time meeting my parents...

his smile says it all! 

First time traveling together and we survived! 

"Be yourself and no one can take your place."

We have been together for more then 6 months,

 so I figured it was time to dedicate a post to the guy responsible for 

making me smile everyday. 

Meeting in the most odd way,

he was literally my knight in shining armor.

I thank God everyday for giving me 

such an amazing boyfriend. 

I am Sorry!

       Its been forever since I really wrote, and I am forever sorry. Life is pretty crazy while at home. Visiting friends from high school and catching up, it is so awesome to catch up with people again. It is rare that I am home for such a long period of time so I have seem almost everyone. In the middle of my two week summer, the girls (Kelly, Mom & Me) went to the beach house. We worked on the house in the morning, caught some rays during the days & had happy hour on the beach. It was just what the doctor had ordered. Everything is just so much better at the beach! I have three more days until I depart for Oxford  for two months!
    Putt Putt with Derek, my cousins t-ball game with the Leib Five & my Grammy tomorrow, Sleepover with my bestie &  a Nationals Game with the girls+ dad are going to fill my last days at home. It's amazing how time flies when you are having fun! 
    I will return to Oxford with two days to move into my new apartment and get ready for the June semester. It feels like I am moving in fastfoward yet I don't want to stop! 

A little...

Sunburnt! No big deal, considering the rest of the weekend was more then I could have ever asked for.


 Matt and I spent Thursday afternoon in the airport due to delays so we didn't make it to the beach house until 2am. Mom and Kelly excitedly greeted us at the Norfolk airport, tons of screams and hugs! Friday was a slow day, just hung around the house playing games and just enjoying being together. Dad drove down, bringing.... my boys Fred and Barney! I was soo happy to see them, it's odd how much you miss the little things when so far from home! Saturday was my birthday so naturally I spent the entire day on the beach, it was ideal! That's were the sun burn comes in, I went there white has casper and came back with a nice red tint. Matt has it worse, poor irish boy is so red and swollen he barely made it across campus to class! 

Sunday came bringing out weekend to an end. Easter was a blast. We went to the closet church to the house, some Chapel. Our first clue should have been the pro life slide show before the service, second one was the prayer for our Nation's leader's sins. Needless to say I felt like I was at a political rally then Easter service. Anyway the Easter Bunny came leaving a pair of Tory Burch sandals along with Country Strong & a J Crew gift card! 

Manly bonding! Dad and Matt grilled and had a cigar outside.

Sisterly Love! 

It's my...

Weekend!

 Today was a rough day, I had a HUGE speech presentation this morning, 

followed by a history exam (I walked across campus in heels and a pencil skirt during a downpour )
and the my last biology class before the exam on monday!

Slightly stressful day topping it off a three hour rush workshop (Love my sisters!). 

But it's all over and all I have to do now is

 pack and get myself and Matt on the plane! 

Words can't describe my excitement for this weekend! 

So now I sign off until Monday

Hope y'all have a fabulous Easter weekend! 
I am officially Beach Bound! 

Short Week!

 Bad News, it's only monday, good news... it is a long weekend!! I couldn't be more excited to have Good Friday off, it allows me to spend Easter AND my Birthday with my loved ones at the Beach!!  Mom and dad just bought a new house in Corolla, North Carolina. Kelly, my older sister is flying up from Clemson thursday morning while Matt & I join the party later on that night! It truly means the world to me that I am able to spend such a special weekend surround by those I truly care about. Any other big plans for the big weekend?? 

Flights are book!

    Even while down with mono I manage to get something productive done, just call me Ms. Travel Agent!
Matt and I will be joining the rest of my family for the first weekend at our new beach house, it just so happen to match the dates with my birthday, Easter and the week before my dad's birthday (Mom has excellent planning) About a month and we'll be packing bags again! 

 xoxo

Side Note- Vera Bradley Spacer bag is perfect for long weekend. Easy to get through the airport with 

 wheels and the short arm handles, best piece of luggage!
