Growing up, consistency was not something I was familiar with. On average, I moved every two years of my life. I attended five different elementary schools, three different middle schools and two different high schools from Texas to Tennessee to Virginia to Florida. My life was ever-rapidly in motion as a kid. Now, much of… Continue reading Five Years at Soul City Church

St. Lucia, you’re a babe.
This is a post that I have really been looking forward to. I'm a sharer, perhaps even an "over-sharer" when it comes to aesthetically beautiful things and/or moments. This moment? Our honeymoon. If you saw my Instagram post regarding our choosing of St. Lucia, you probably noted how I stated it was hard to choose… Continue reading St. Lucia, you’re a babe.
Oh, Perfect Day (and More)
Is there really a way to fully express what these past two weeks have meant to us? The answer, I believe, is no. We planned for seven months straight, all while a state away from where the wedding would eventually take place. The wedding planning process itself was, at times and in all honesty, frustrating… Continue reading Oh, Perfect Day (and More)

I'm taking every photo we have ever taken together and re-examining its meaning. I lost you somewhere between shooting you on film -- a shot of filmy grain and your smile -- and a family vacation taken on my DSLR. Looking back, I'd rather have you captured in the black and white grain for the rest… Continue reading D.
What “The West Wing” Has Taught Me About The 2016 Election
There's this scene in The West Wing when President Bartlet (brilliantly played by Martin Sheen) has to make the hard call whether or not to intervene with known leader of a terrorist network in Qumar (a fictional state in the Middle East) or to step aside. The entire episode grapples with President Bartlet's decision: his personal morals… Continue reading What “The West Wing” Has Taught Me About The 2016 Election

It is weird to say, but I think mental health is becoming ... trendy? A couple of weeks ago, BuzzFeed took initiative and created their own "Mental Health Week." I loved this. My hope is that it is something they continue with moving forward. However, I am not so sure that NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness)… Continue reading 2015
The Footsteps of Fear
I don't think I would be speaking for only myself if I said that the terrorist attack on Friday night in Paris made me feel scared, helpless, and sick. I was at work when I first saw CNN's coverage of the breaking news in Paris. At five, it was time to go home, but I… Continue reading The Footsteps of Fear
Seattle + Portland
Since getting engaged, Brendan and I have been on a whirlwind of travel. We got engaged on Saturday and by Wednesday we were on our much-anticipated planned trip to Seattle and Portland. We had decided to take a week to be blissfully engaged, not even bringing up wedding planning details. It helped that we were going… Continue reading Seattle + Portland
10.10.15
I figured I would write this all out while it still feels like I'm living in an alternate universe. I really wanted to share the story of Saturday, because Brendan and our friends put SO much work and effort into making our dream come true. This blog post serves as a giant Thank You to all… Continue reading 10.10.15
Lord, I hope so.
While sitting on the bus this morning, my mind felt like it was running rampant. I tried focusing on the scripture in front of me (Galatians 6), but still had a sense of urgency and rush. Suddenly, I had a picture of myself sitting on the porch of a friends' cabin in Wisconsin. Even just… Continue reading Lord, I hope so.
