My Sister’s Peeper

When sisters are 18 months apart, there are two options as to how their relationship is going to operate: 1. They share clothes, friends, and secrets. The older sister passes on homework assignments, life lessons, and dating tips to the younger sister. 2. The younger sister grabs a friend and spies on the older sister…

How Often Do You?

Recently, a friend of mine made a post on her blog titled “how often do you?” I got a kick out of reading her answers so thought I would post it on here too, with a couple of extra questions I found on other blogs! It is a good way to get to know the…

Riding Towards Freedom

This past week was incredibly busy. I worked both jobs, making it a 70-hour work week. Because of this,I have been planning what I will do on my one day of freedom since Friday. Just the thought of a free Sunday was keeping me going. So far, my Sunday has been perfect. This morning I…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Urban

Tampa, Florida. It is a beautiful place to photograph, but is my least favorite place that I’ve lived. As you can tell from the pictures, it is very neat and pristine. I felt that a lot of the people there matched the surroundings, everyone was trying so hard to be flawless. After all, Tampa is…

Seabrook Island (A Dream Vacation)

Since Wednesday night Isaac and I have been vacationing in South Carolina on Seabrook island. It’s right near Kiawah and is very similar, but in our opinion is less stuffy and more peaceful.
