Happy New Year!! Dave and I started 2016 in a whirlwind way. We rang in the new year with friends in Syracuse, drove to Pittsburgh (through horrible lake effect snow–thank goodness Dave was driving and not me!) on January 1, celebrated a sweet friend’s wedding in our college town on January 2, and headed home […]

As much as I love December and all the hustle and bustle leading up to Christmas, I have to admit, it’s a little bittersweet to see 2015 coming to a close. This is the year I got married, had my dream wedding, and started life with my best friend, and for as long as I live, […]

November is one of my favorite months, and I’m so glad it’s here! The impending start of the holidays makes me giddy, and to add to the excitement, the new issue of Southern Weddings comes out this week. It’s surreal and thrilling to see what we’ve been working on all year come to fruition and I […]

One of my absolute favorite things about my job is the opportunity to travel, and ever since my busy spring/early summer, I’ve been saying “I’m sticking close to home till October.” Well, here October is, and I’m gearing up for one of my busiest work travel months ever! It’s all for amazing things and opportunities that […]

I’m sad that summer is coming to a close–it’s definitely my favorite–but I’ve realized that I’m really excited to experience a new season with a husband. Summer started pretty much as soon […]

As far as goals go, July was not my best month ever, but in other ways, it was pretty great. I got to catch up with a few long-distance friends via FaceTime, my baby sister turned 19 (hi Kristen!), Dave and I explored some fun new places in the Triangle, and I’m finally getting back into a […]

If I had to describe June in a few words, it would be quality time with friends. I was definitely inspired by a series on friendship that my boss just wrapped up (you can download it all here!), and now that Dave and I are a bit more settled into our new routine, we put a lot […]

One thing Dave and I have agreed on is that even though planning our wedding didn’t take too much focused time, it took up a LOT of mental space. No matter what we were physically doing over the last year and a half, chances are, ideas and to do’s for the wedding were in the […]
