On my Sweet Sundays (which it’s been a while since posting one of those) I like to highlight the Good List of the week. 2019 has been the most excruciating year of my life. It has been eleven months of trusting Jesus, making mistakes while learning to give myself grace, praying relentlessly, loving without fear … Continue reading The Good List: Thankfulness
Something that’s been missing in my life has been a creative outlet outside of my day-job. I’ve joined committees and groups outside of work, even volunteering, but there was still a gaping hole for a creative need. Having an outlet that you can turn to and invest your energy into can bring a positive reinforcement … Continue reading A Little on the Side
I didn’t really feel like I missed out on much by going to Pepperdine for college, but one thing I felt like I didn’t get to experience was the excitement of college football! Football is a major part of the Texas culture. It literally starts in the “little league” of football games and doesn’t stop … Continue reading Touch Down Texas
There’s been a restaurant, The Collective, that I had been dying to try since it had opened in Oklahoma City. This collection of restaurants, eleven to be exact, was an exquisite take on a food court. Garrett and I were running late for brunch on a Sunday so we got in the car, drove into … Continue reading Counting Abs is Cheesier Said Than Done
After a restful night, we woke up to the sun through the curtains and the water hitting the shore and smiled because it was time to go on the Bacardí Distillery Tour! This was probably my favorite day of our vacation and it was worth every penny spent. We started off with breakfast at Zest, … Continue reading Some of Y’all Never Had Bacardí for Breakfast
Puerto Rico was incredible...I’m not even going to pretend like it wasn’t the tropical escape that I desperately needed. From incredible food to breathtaking views, it was something out of a Pinterest board. We decided to stay at the San Juan Water & Beach Club and I will recommend it until the day that I … Continue reading Slow M(ocean)
This is the first job I’ve had that I actually get a bonus & it feels like it’s almost the gift that keeps on giving throughout the year. Getting a bonus is an absolute privilege & it’s so important for me to put it to good use. I have my eye on a total gift … Continue reading More Money, Less Probs
I can’t believe it’s been almost A YEAR since I drove into Waco with a fresh, baby Fenway sitting in my lap. I also can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I first tried to go to The Magnolia Table but was burnt out by the wait. This year, we went and it was … Continue reading Gather Around the Table
A couple weeks ago, I got to see one of my favorite people in the entire world - Margaux! It’s been so long since I’ve seen her but we never skip a beat! And we’re both thrilled that I’m going to be a bridesmaid because that means more time together...yay! Our weekend was much too … Continue reading Meet Me at Margaux
The Good List: Laughter from your dearest friend, the smell of peppermint-green tea & a happy afternoon with the sun streaming in What I’m Here For So Bed, Bath & Beyond Excited: It’s been a looooooong two years (wow!!) since I’ve seen my girl Margaux. We’ve been everywhere together, from Greece to Germany and Washington … Continue reading Sweet Sunday No. 47
