Oh La La!

A girlfriend and I were on the topic of rings after she recently received an engagement ring. Being girls, and since it is in our DNA to do so, we were day dreaming out loud about our perfect wedding, honeymoon, and future amazing husband that bought flowers for no reason and gave awesome calf massages. Now don’t get me wrong, her ring is gorgeous, and I think that everyone should have their own taste and get something that represents their relationship – but I just didn’t think that the ring she received was

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things (Fall Edition)

The weather has started to change; the mornings have the crispness to them that feels amazing when your snuggled under the covers. There’s a light constant breeze that has a hint of a whisper from the leaves starting to crackle and crunch. And of course then there’s the random acorn that falls from the tree outside of my apartment and pegs me in the head as I’m walking up the sidewalk. All of these are signs of one of my favorite times of the year: FALL! So to get in the fall spirit I decided to name a few of my favorite things. Think of it as the same

What I Want

I’ve really began to find myself, atleast I feel like I am. I have never really felt like I fully fit in and I’ve always thought something may be missing. Living on my own though and being alone really opened my eyes and made me find a way of discovering what I truly want out of life. I used to think that I wanted a nice house and tons of friends and to be able to go and do and just travel the world. Granted I still want to travel, I think I have been able to really narrow down the few things that I know would make me happy.

I want a good relationship that will last until we are both old and grey. I want to know that the hand I am holding will be the same hand I hold when I am 90. Granted I do have a special someone in mind right now that I think feels like the one, I want to make vertain even though I’ve already fallen head of heels for him. I want a future with a nice home filled with laughter and the type

Are You Afraid of the Dark???

I had a friend comment a few weeks ago that I had many things I was afraid of. Though I cannot disagree with the statement I started to really put some thought into my major phobias to try and determine why I had such horrible fears of them. I know that there are many people who despise spiders or snakes, small spaces or heights, deep water or guns. But why am I so terrified of the things that

What’s In A Name?

A girlfriend and I somehow got on the conversation of bizarre baby names the other night while splitting a bottle of wine and watching The Ugly Truth. Of course we have all wondered what some people are thinking when they name their child. I deal with dozens of people on a daily basis and I will admit that sometimes I can only shake my head and smile

I Was Born Country

I’ve never been a very decisive person when it comes to food or clothing. I never know where I want to eat dinner, or what dress I want to wear to out. I will never tell you that I prefer Wendy’s cheeseburgers over McDonald’s chicken sandwich, or that I have an undying love for blackberry tea. Don’t get me wrong, if there’s something I strongly agree or disagree with I will be the first to speak up. I guess what I am trying to say is that I tend to be very laid back when it comes to things that I feel matter, but do not hold a spot in my heart. But when it comes to what I want in life, I’ve always viewed my

Lessons Learned

Looking back over the past several years I see such a difference in the person that I once was, and who I am today. I remember stunts that drove my mom crazy, but in the moment I saw no wrong in my actions. I feel a twinge of regret for being careless, stubborn, and sometimes plain ignorant. But I am also thankful for every experience that I had; without those trial and error runs I don’t think I would be able to figure out who I am as a person. I feel like I have changed
