Random Thoughts on a Monday Afternoon

The only reason I enjoy Monday’s is because I always get Chipotle for lunch. I also eat it on Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, and most Friday’s, but on Monday it is the only reason I smile. 27-year old college students need not call their grades a “report card.” It is a transcript. If you keep calling it…

As long as you think…

Dresses and Drapes

This weekend has been absolutely amazing so far. My mom came to town to visit and as I write this she is passed out next to me in bed. I could not be happier. What a day it has been! It started with wedding dress shopping at 10:30 this morning- all I can say is…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual

This past Tuesday Isaac and I went to the inlet on Topsail Island. We spent about 2 hours walking around the empty beach; he skipping rocks and me photographing the wildlife.
