Lately I find myself reflecting back on the years that have molded me into who I am today. I'm becoming more grateful for the many different things I’ve gone through in life, and the people who have come, gone, and stayed that have brought me to where I am now. Looking back makes me realize that ... read more
The Best Gift in life is life!
Damon and I have had so much excitement this year. Between getting engaged and planning our wedding, both our sister-in-laws also announced they were pregnant with their 1st baby. Early this morning Damon's sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. We couldn't be more excited to finally be ... read more
Get Fit, Be Fit, Stay Fit…With or Without a Gym!
I keep asking myself if I still really need a gym membership. With my wedding now less than 11 months away I'm trying to spend less and save where I can. Everyday I realize more and more that I'm not sure I really need the gym membership I'm paying for because despite what most people realize, I ... read more
Checking off my checklist!
Done and Done! With our wedding about 11 months away, everyone keeps asking me how the planning is going. My answer has been the same to everyone, "Everything is Done!" Of course, not everything is done, but there is literally not much else I can do at this point. Our venue and photographer were ... read more

3 days until my 1st Road Ride!
What is the average age a child learns to ride a bike? It's sad, but I don't even remember how old I was! I do, however, remember my sweet pink Huffy! Oh I loved that bike! But, once I grew out of my Huffy, I didn't ride a bike anymore. A little over three years ago I bought a Trek Mountain bike. I ... read more
How I Discovered Yoga
For years people tried explaining to me the many benefits of yoga. Mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. In my early 20s I took Pilates on a fairly regular basis and simply assumed yoga was pretty much the same thing. About three and a half years ago I switched gyms and saw they ... read more
Half Marathon Girl!
I was never a runner and in HS I couldn't even make it around a track once without blacking out and being completely winded. In college I discovered a whole new side of myself, exercise. Getting fit and being healthy gradually became more and more important and interesting to me. I joined a gym and ... read more

Last winter I started hearing that having a photo booth at weddings were the all new rave. I have a few friends who have done it and after officially attending a wedding with a photo booth this summer I was 100% sold. I started looking at different photo booth companies as soon as we got engaged and ... read more
