Warning: This is a long one and makes up for a year of not posting. But I do want to get back into writing again so stay tuned for more life updates of a young married woman!

Balancing Act
James and I recently started going to a young adult bible study, and it's been really fun but it's also called me out on my lifestyle like....a lot. What am I being called out for? Well I tend to overdo it sometimes with scheduling our social lives. I always have something planned whether it be friends coming over, going out, or planning a trip. We're always doing something! And that's not always a bad thing, but recently it's become a bit overwhelming. I found out the other day that James feels that he has little to no control over his free time because I'm always filling it and that made me feel so bad! But he's right, I think since the summer began there've been few weeks where we've had more than 1 evening off and we're starting to get burnt out. I've always known life is a balancing act but I didn't realize how much our schedules related to our mental health. But boy does it.
High, Low, Buffalo – A Summer Review
Happy Fall everyone! Now that we are officially in the 'ber months I thought it'd be a good time to share a recap of my first summer as a married woman as well as my first summer spent in New York. we're gonna cover the high, the low, and the buffalo moments, so buckle your seat belts kids, it's gonna be a wild ride!
The Friend Struggle
During my scholastic career I have made many friends both long term and short term. It's easy to make friends when you are going to school with kids your age and even easier in college when you are basically living with them! I went to college in 2014 and made some of my closest friends that first week of freshman year. Since then I have stuck with my tight knit friend group (quality over quantity right?) and we all stuck around the Northshore area after graduation so I didn't have to worry about branching out yet.
Into the Wild
I usually have a theme for every summer
Open Letter to My Husband – Happy Anniversary
James, Happy 1st wedding anniversary my love! I can't believe we've been married for a year already, it feels like it's only been a week. This year has been absolutely incredible, even with this whole crazy pandemic. We've moved in together, adopted animals, taken care of a house and we even started a small garden. …

Celebrating One Year
Although it doesn't feel like it, James and I have almost been married for one whole year! On August 17th it will have been 365 days together as husband and wife and I have never been so excited and proud of an anniversary before. The question is, how do you celebrate? Do you treat it like a holiday and go all out by booking a hotel, going out to dinner, the whole shebang? Or do you enjoy an evening together and watch wedding videos, drink champagne, and eat the top of your wedding cake that has been in your freezer for a year?
Not What I expected
