I've always wanted to be one of those people who pick out the non-fiction books at Barnes and Noble, but it seems like every time I go to choose a new monthly read, I head straight to the "girly" fiction section, and select another one of the infamous twenty-something hopeless romantic lovey dovey humorous reads... case in point -- "Love the One You're With" by one of my favorite authors Emily Giffin. Trust me, if you're at the beach (like I was for this one), it's a juicy story that follows a ...
Touchdown Tennessee
With everyone around me starting to gear up for college football season, I'm beginning to see the steady stream of emails with SEC football schedules, the infamous "trash talk" about how our teams are going to stack up, and MSN's top rankings of party schools this year, I thought I'd take a minute to remind my blogging friends out there of one small, but very important detail...TENNESSEE FOOTBALL BEGINS 1 MONTHFROM TODAY!!! I can't wait to start wearing all orange and white on Fridays and ...
The Biggest Day of My Life
It finally happened... the SINGLE, MOST IMPORTANT thing I have been praying for came full circle this past Sunday, August 2, 2009 -- I was saved and became a Christian!! This has been heavy on my heart for some time now, and my closest friends and family know I've been struggling with my faith and trying to figure everything out.

Southern Sushi
I've been talking for months about how I wanted start taking cooking classes, and even more so, one dedicated to the art of sushi... well, little to my knowledge, Jeff planned a date night for us to make sushi at his house and we finally got the chance to get creative last night. Not to toot my own horn by any means, but for our first time experimenting with the delicacy, I'll go ahead and say JOB WELL DONE! To be honest, I can't believe it was as tasty as it was, especially because we were ...
Success Quotes (Series Post #3)
I believe in order to be successful, you must think only positive thoughts. I'm a glass half full kind-of-girl and I am a person who wholeheartedly thinks you should live in the moment and never look back and wonder 'what if?' Eleanor Roosevelt said it best: "Take chances and do one thing each day you think you cannot do". My company is going through a transitional period right now so everyone at work is up in arms about what's about to happen since we've been aquired by a very large firm. I, on ...
Life’s A Beach
It's only July and I've already been to the beach 3 times this year! Yes I feel like one lucky girl... we ventured down south in March for Bev's Bachelorette, then back down for Easter with my parents and Meg, and this past week my Mom and I took a much-needed WEEK long vacation to Rosemary Beach for some rest and relaxation away from "The Real World". For those of you who may not know where Rosemary is, it's located about 10 minutes from Seaside along the 30A Highway right next to Alys Beach ...
