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…
Life for Isaac and I has gotten very routine. I didn’t realize just how robot-like we had gotten until our recent vacation to Seabrook Island. Every week it’s the same exact thing, and we can’t do much about it. Because I have gotten so used to my routine, it was really difficult for me to relax…
I love a good deal. Who doesn’t? I would totally use Groupon and Living Social more if I could remember to actually USE my dang coupons. The last two offers that I claimed sat on my virtual shelf for so long that they expired. What a waste of money! I decided that I am no…
Teenagers are dumb. It’s not just my personal opinion, it’s science. The teenage brain has not yet fully developed, especially the part that deals with planning ahead, actions and consequences, and understanding mortality. See mom and dad, I DID learn something in college. This may be the only factoid that I remember from school but…
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. This island is filled with gorgeous trees, unbelievable mansions, and wildlife. We have seen countless deer, alligators, birds, crabs, and turtles. My…
Me: how’s that rum you got? Isaac: great actually, I really like it Me: oh good. What are you drinking it with? Isaac: ice Aaaaaand we’re officially on vacation! I slept 4 of the 5.5 hours it took us to get here, and amazingly I’m still pretty exhausted. SO READY for these next few days…
Sometimes I feel like my fiancé and I are in a constant game of “How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days”, where I’m the crazy girl who buys love ferns and he is the suave Matthew Mcconaughey who puts up with me. Only he’s been sticking around for a lot longer than 10 days.…
I keep telling myself that day 2 of no caffeine really isn’t that bad. In fact, I barely notice it! Then I remember that I am a terrible liar. Today’s lunch break I spent sprawled out in the backseat of my car, passed out, drooling on a canvas grocery bag that served as a pillow.…
My fiance, father, and brother-in-law. I don’t remember the conversation they were having but I do know this is one of my favorite family pictures ever. I guess this is what you get when the man to woman ratio in the family is 3 to 5. They are definitely in touch with their feminine sides!…
Last week I was giving a presentation at work for the batch of new students enrolling in school. My portion of their orientation day is not exciting or encouraging, to say the least. I basically stand in front of them for 20 minutes and explain the consequences of getting poor grades and dropping classes. Being…
